Transparent the musical

A Transparent musical, fittingly titled A Transparent Musical, is headed to Broadway next year.

The show based on the TV series created by Joey Soloway premiered in Los Angeles in May .

Soloway, who also wrote the book to the stage musical with MJ Kaufman, with sister Faith Soloway writing themusic and lyrics.

“Transparent remains an incredibly impactful series with salient representation for the LGBTQIA+ community,” said Nick Pepper, head of US SVOD wholly owned development, Amazon Studios. “This is the ideal series and characters to bring from series to stage, and we are thrilled to partner with Tony-winning Broadway producer Eva Price. We hope the audience walks away inspired after experiencing this poignant story.”

According to Variety, A Transparent Musical is told through the eyes of the Pfefferman family’s youngest child, Ali Pfefferman:  “Ali’s Los Angeles Jewish family is filled with secrets, but when their parent, Maura – played by Daya Curley – transitions to the transgender matriarch she always knew she was, the family is forced to confront their own identities and navigate their relationships with each other. Through a revelatory story of acceptance and self-expression, A Transparent Musical explores the intersection of Jewish and queer history while celebrating the imperfectly human and startlingly familiar aspects of a universally relatable family.”

The TV series also concluded in 2019 with a musical finale.

Both Soloways were previously behind the stage production The Real Live Brady Bunch which played in Australia and subsequently gave reise the The Brady Bunch Movie and its sequels.
