'Crazy Rich Asians' will soon come to Broadway, years after author Kevin Kwan's bestseller jumped from page to screen in a watershed moment for Asian representation in Hollywood. Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures revealed on Wednesday that director Jon M. Chu will helm a stage musical based on Kwan's 'Crazy Rich Asians' trilogy. The musical also will be based on Warner Bros.'s 2018 film adaptation of the first novel, which Chu directed.
Theatre Ventures' press release described the new 'Crazy Rich Asians' musical as 'a fun, engaging and hilarious look at what can happen when young love collides with old money.' Chu's 2018 'Crazy Rich Asians' starred Constance Wu as an Asian American woman struggling to prove herself to her boyfriend's extravagantly wealthy and extremely selective loved ones in Singapore.
