According to the website Digital Spy, actor Ricky Whittle has proposed the idea of a Hollyoaks musical to the producers of the Channel 4 soap.
It’s thought that if the idea goes any further, it could be used to mark the soap’s 15th anniversary at the end of next year.
Also in line for a musical makeover is Tom Cruise’s 1988 movie Cocktail, which is apparently being turned into a Broadway musical to mark its 20th anniversary – and might star Cruise’s wife Katie Holmes.
The film’s creator Heywood Gould told the New York Post: “I am writing it as we speak. Marty Richards is on board and he’s working on the score … It’s far too early to talk about casting. We haven’t approached anybody yet, but yes, I like Katie Holmes.”
