Michael Tran/FilmMagicCast me baby, one more time. A U.K. musical based on the works of Max Martin, the songwriter who’s penned 22 #1 Billboard Hot 100 singles, is in the works.
A casting notice for the production reads, “AUDITIONS – NEW MUSICAL. Love Britney, Adele, Justin, Pink, Katy, Selena, Taylor, Robyn, Justin? This is for you. Music from the man behind their biggest hits – Max Martin.”
The musical, described as being in the “final stages of development,” will use Martin’s “incredible catalogue of songs as inspiration.” That points to the production being a so-called “jukebox musical,” which will tell a stand-alone story through the use of various songs. Examples of the genre include “Movin’ Out,” based on the songs of Billy Joel, and Mamma Mia!, based on the songs of ABBA.
Among the countless Martin co-writes or productions which might be used in the musical: Britney Spears‘ “..Baby One More Time,” The Backstreet Boys‘ “I Want It That Way,” Adele‘s “Send My Love (To Your New Lover),” Justin Timberlake‘s “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” Katy Perry‘s “Roar” and “Teenage Dream,” Taylor Swift‘s “Shake It Off,” ‘N SYNC’s “It’s Gonna Be Me” and Pink‘s “Raise Your Glass.”
