Spacey to bring Darin musical to the Old Vic

London SE1 website team

The Old Vic's Kevin Spacey is so pleased with the success of his Bobby Darin biopic that he plans to turn it into a musical and stage it at the Waterloo theatre.

Spacey wrote, directed and starred in the movie. He says: "It has been so well received you have to ask: 'Why not turn it into a stage musical?' I like the idea of keeping Bobby's memory alive."

Meanwhile Spacey, who live in Westminster Bridge Road, has been cast as Lex Luther in Bryan Singer's forthcoming 'Superman' movie.

Spacey will still star in the Old Vic's production of 'National Anthems', followed by a limited run in 'The Philadelphia Story' before heading to Fox Studios in Sydney to start work on the movie.
