Justin Hurwitz discusses the change in writer and director for the La La Land Broadway adaptation. La La Land was written and directed by Damien Chazelle, earning him and Hurwitz critical acclaim and multiple Academy Awards. It was recently announced that a stage adaptation is being developed for Broadway by Lionsgate and producer Marc Platt. While Hurwitz, the composer, and songwriters Benji Pasek and Justin Paul are returning to write additional music for the La La Land adaptation, Tony winner Bartlett Sher will step in to direct from a book written by Pulitzer Prize winner Ayad Akhtar and Matthew Decker.
