What's Happening?
The new musical comedy 'Three Months Later,' starring Kristen Bell and Lea Thompson, is set to have a three-day engagement in Los Angeles. Created by David Wain, Jessica McKenna, and Zach Reino, the musical will be performed at Jim Henson Studios from February 19 to 21, 2026. The story follows a group of plane crash survivors who decide to stage a production of 'Romeo & Juliet' to boost morale. The musical is also being developed into a film by Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman's Brownstone Productions.
Why It's Important?
The musical's limited engagement in Los Angeles serves as a test run for a potential full commercial stage production and film adaptation. With high-profile talent like Kristen Bell involved, the project has the potential to attract significant
attention and investment. The unique premise of combining survival with theatrical performance could appeal to audiences looking for innovative storytelling in musical theater.
What's Next?
Following the Los Angeles performances, the production team will likely assess audience reception and critical feedback to refine the musical for a broader release. The development of the film adaptation will also progress, potentially expanding the reach of 'Three Months Later' to a global audience.
