Legendary rap group Run-DMC are planning to bring the story of their journey from Hollis, Queens to becoming pioneers of rap to the Broadway stage.
Variety reports that the surviving group members Rev Run and DMC have been meeting with executive producer Paula Wagner (Mission Impossible, The Last Samurai) to sort out the details of the musical.
“I feel their story perfectly lends itself to the stage,” Wagner told Variety. “This project has been a passion of mine for some time and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with them.”
