But whereas the Mark Taper is on hold, “A Transparent Musical” has big things in store. According to Amazon, the show’s producers “intend to bring the show to Broadway sometime in 2024.” The musical, or course, is based on Amazon Prime Video’s Emmy-winning series “Transparent,” created by Joey Soloway, who also wrote the book to the stage musical with MJ Kaufman. Faith Soloway wrote the music and lyrics to “A Transparent Musical.
“’Transparent’ remains an incredibly impactful series with salient representation for the LGBTQIA+ community,” said Nick Pepper, head of US SVOD wholly owned development, Amazon Studios, in a statement. “This is the ideal series and characters to bring from series to stage, and we are thrilled to partner with Tony-winning Broadway producer Eva Price. We hope the audience walks away inspired after experiencing this poignant story.
At the Mark Taper Forum, according to Amazon and the Center Theatre Group, “the musical brought in the highest proportion of young audience members of any recent Taper production.” Amazon Studios also noted that it gave the CTG a grant to allow “underserved Angelenos to attend ‘A Transparent Musical’ free of charge during its final shows at Mark Taper Forum.”
