Will Ferrell is developing a Broadway musical based on his 2020 Netflix film, 'Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga'. He co-wrote the film with Harper Steele, and they will collaborate with director Anthony King. The comedic film featured Ferrell and Rachel McAdams as Icelandic singers, receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song despite mixed reviews. The musical aims to extend the celebration of Eurovision, which recently attracted 166 million viewers globally. Director Alex Timbers, known for his Broadway work, will helm the adaptation as the event approaches its 70th edition in 2026.
We are more than excited to bring Eurovision to Broadway. The stage musical is a perfect place to continue our celebration of all the things we love about this amazing and unifying song competition.
This is a stellar team for what I am sure will be an equally stellar adaption of a film the world loved.
