‘The Princess Bride’ Musical: EGOT Songwriters Robert Lopez & Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Director Alex Timbers And Producer Jeffrey Seller Join Stage Adaptation In Development
The songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, director Alex Timbers and producer Jeffrey Seller have joined the 'Princess Bride' project.
The arrival of the new composers, director and producer was made public in an Equity audition notice for the project that lists the new creative team.
