It may seem inconceivable that The Princess Bride rolled into theaters over 30 years ago, but it's the truth. Yet, even as the years pass, the 1987 film and its many memorable quotes have stood the test of time. Perhaps that's why Disney decided to take Princess Buttercup and Westley's storyline on another adventure: this time as an onstage musical!
There have been rumors of a Princess Bride musical for a number of years, but our wishes are finally becoming a reality now that a new creative team is in place. The musical is still in its early stages, but according to Deadline, Disney Theatrical Productions have tapped The Band's Visit's David Yazbek as the composer and lyricist, along with The Prom's Bob Martin and The Cher Show's Rick Elice as book writers. The Princess Bride follows in the footsteps of other Disney movies turned Broadway musicals like Frozen, The Lion King,...

The nutria were imported to Louisiana during the Depression because it was thought that their fur would prove desirable and provide income. Unfortunately, the animals escaped the fur...

Rob Reiner and William Goldman's The Princess Bride was a perfect fantasy movie back when the genre was in decline.
It’s often discussed how the golden age of mature, adult-oriented fantasy has come about in the last decade.
