Getting on the musical bandwagon, the Walt Disney Co. is developing an untitled teen musical to be directed by theater helmer Kristen Hanggi, best known for her work on the pop opera bare at the Hudson Mainstage Theatre in Los Angeles. Bare composer Damon Intrabartolo and singer-songwriter Jason Whitton are writing the musical numbers to the film. Amy Veltman, a story editor on the PBS documentary American High, is writing the script. Immortal's Happy Walters and Matt Weaver are producing with Film Generator's Kelly Macmanus and Elizabeth Allen, who have a first-look deal at Immortal. The project is about a cynical teenage girl who finds hope and possibility after an insanely misguided community service project results in her first foray into the world of Manhattan's privileged elite.
