Featuring such mega-hits as ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’ and ‘Man! I Feel Like a Woman!,’ a forthcoming musical featuring the hits of Shania Twain is in production.
Hoping to hit the stage late 2025, the project will feature the now 59-year-old country/pop star’s biggest songs
A reliable source close to the musical told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column in the UK:
“It’s been a long time coming but the Shania musical is finally happening.” “The script has been completed and it’s now moved into the developmental stage, with discussions about staging and costumes.” “Rather than being about herself, the musical follows ABBA’s ‘Mamma Mia!’ which tells a story using their music.” “Shania is thrilled it’s been given the green light.” “It’s being produced by Eliza Lumley Productions. Eliza was in the original ‘Mamma Mia’ cast and worked at Shania’s label Universal for almost a decade.”
Several years back, Shania teased the prospect of a musical featuring her music, stating “There’s all sorts of things coming up but things I probably can’t talk about right now. But I’ve got a very busy few years ahead of me.”
During the Sunday afternoon legends slot at the Glastonbury Festival earlier this year, Twain described her Worthy Farm performance as a “real wow moment in my career” telling Greatest Hits Radio:
“It’s a wow. A real wow moment in my career. It’s such a one of a kind. The closer it comes, the more everybody tells me about it in their own individual stories as well their own experiences. Everyone seems to be such a dedicated fan of the festival, it sounds as though it’s a very bonding experience for everybody.” “It’s an event where everybody bonds over whether it’s great weather or bad weather or whatever it is that’s happening so I think it’s more than just a music festival, it’s a community gathering, a stamp, an annual stamp that everyone experiences.”
