Brady Bunch, Cheers to take to the stage.

Cheers and The Brady Bunch are set for stage shows, according to CBS Consumer Products.

The Brady Bunch, which was previously The Real Live Brady Bunch co-conceived by Jill Soloway (Transparent), will be adapted as a musical. It will feature the classic characters but with an original story written by Lloyd J. Schwartz and Hope Juber, children of creator, Sherwood Schwartz.

Soloway’s parody, which was also staged in Australia, later gave rise to The Brady Bunch Movie and its various sequels.

Meanwhile Cheers will become Cheers Live On Stage showcasing “classic moments from numerous scripted episodes.”

In a statement, Liz Kalodner, executive vice president and general manager of CBS Consumer Products, said, “The Brady Bunch and Cheers are two iconic TV shows with a deep connection to fans that is as strong as ever. These live adaptations will capitalise on the shows’ timeless characters and stories to create something completely new and captivating.”

An unrelated Brady Bunch fringe cabaret is currently being staged in Melbourne.
