A new jukebox musical featuring the songs of James Taylor is in the works from producers Gail Berman, Sam Feldman, Michael Gorfaine, and Jimmy Nederlander, in association with Frank Marshall and Jere Harris. Taking its title from Taylor's song "Fire and Rain," the project will feature an original story and a book by Tony- and Pulitzer-winning playwright Tracy Letts. Tony winner David Cromer is directing.

As for what that story of Fire & Rain will be, production representatives are keeping mum for now, along with any news about a production timeline. Stay tuned.

The project would not be the first time Taylor's songs have appeared in a stage musical. "Millworker" and "Brother Trucker" from his 1979 album Flag were both featured in 1978's Working, along with his "Un Mejor Dia Vendrá," and later his "Traffic Jam" (from JT).

Six-time Grammy winner Taylor is a singer-songwriter whose greatest hits include covers like "You've Got a Friend," "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved py You)," and "Handy Man," along with his own originals like "Fire and Rain," "Sweet Baby Jane," and "Carolina in My Mind." He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000, and received a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 and a National Medal of Arts in 2012.

The project would appear to be Letts' first musical, following his plays including August: Osage County, Superior Donuts, Bug, and others. Also an accomplished actor, Letts won a Tony Award for his performance in the 2013 revival of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Cromer won a 2018 Tony Award for directing that year's Best Musical winner The Band's Visit, and is represented on Broadway this season with both Good Night, and Good Luck and Dead Outlaw.
