Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures and Kevin Kwan have announced the development of a new Broadway musical adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians, a contemporary romantic comedy based on the acclaimed worldwide bestselling trilogy by Mr. Kwan and the hugely successful Warner Bros. Pictures film directed by Jon M. Chu.

The timeline for a pre-Broadway engagement will be announced shortly.

Making his Broadway directorial debut following completion of his two-part film adaptation of Wicked and his critically acclaimed film adaptation of In The Heights, Jon M. Chu will revisit Crazy Rich Asians for the stage with a book by Leah Nanako Winkler, music by Helen Park and lyrics by Amanda Green & Tat Tong.

Crazy Rich Asians takes a fun, engaging and hilarious look at what can happen when young love collides with old money.
