A stage musical adaptation of the 2012 film Silver Linings Playbook is in the works with Broadway plans on the horizon, it has been announced.

Tony Award-winning producer James D. Stern has acquired the rights to develop the film into a musical, which was - in turn - based on the 2008 novel by Matthew Quick.

Patrick "Pat" Solitano Jr. is a man with bipolar disorder who is released from a psychiatric hospital and moves back in with his parents. Pat is determined to win back his estranged wife. He meets a young widow, Tiffany Maxwell, who offers to help him get his wife back if he enters a dance competition with her. The two become closer as they train and Pat, his father, and Tiffany examine their relationships with each other as they cope with their personal situations.

The film starred Bradley Cooper as Pat and Jennifer Lawrence as Tiffany.
