Jamie Wilson Productions (JWP) will bring to the West End in 2027 the musical stage adaptation of the cult hit classic #COYOTEUGLY
With original music & lyrics by the Grammy Award–winning and 16-time Academy Award–nominated songwriter Diane Warren. With a stage adaptation by original film screenwriter Gina Wendkos alongside Olivier Award–winning Vikki Stone, and directed & choreographed by the multi–Tony Award–winning Jerry Mitchell.
Diane Warren said, “For over 20 years I’ve been saying someone needs to do a Coyote Ugly musical. I’m so excited it is finally happening and that I will be a part of it! Both the movie and the soundtrack are guilty pleasure classics and now a fun guilty pleasure musical just when we need it most!”
Jamie Wilson, on behalf of the Producers said “We are incredibly proud to collaborate with such an exceptional, award-winning creative team to bring a new musical stage adaptation of this cult-classic to the West End in 2027.
Diane’s remarkable multi award-winning career speaks to her extraordinary influence on popular music, with her songs including hits such as If I Could Turn Back Time; Because You Loved Me, How Do I Live and I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.
We are thrilled that the production will feature not only her iconic tracks from the original film, but also an unparalleled slate of brand-new songs written exclusively by Diane for the stage.
We’re inviting audiences to join us for a wild theatrical experience, immersed in the electric atmosphere of the iconic NY venue, where the music will capture all the heart and heat of the original story whilst igniting it anew for the next generation.”
