Lia Vollack Productions is readying 2020 bows for two potentially massive shows with AlmostFamous and 'MJ the Musical'

Producer Lia Vollack and Cameron Crowe pose at the opening night of the new musical"Almost Famous" at The Old Globe Theatre on Sept. 27, 2019 in San Diego, Calif.

The show is being spearheaded by the prestigious team of choreographer-director Christopher Wheeldon, a celebrated star of the ballet world who successfully made the leap to Broadway musical theater with in 2015; and two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage , who is penning the book. On top of separate projects she's developing through her New York-based operation, Vollack anticipates having an ongoing relationship with Sony that will likely include tapping additional properties from the film library, while she has entered into a consultancy deal with Sony Music on that department's theatrical endeavors.

Vollack is hesitant to dig deep at this point, while the show is still coming together — either into its structure or into how the producing, creative and marketing teams intend to address the noise guaranteed to come from cancel-culture zealots on Twitter.
