Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large “A Transparent Musical” is heading to New York and Broadway. The show, the first stage play from Amazon Studios, premiered in Los Angeles at the Mark Taper Forum in May — becoming the last show at the Taper for now, as Center Theater Group has canceled all shows at the stage following the close of “A Transparent Musical” on June 25.

But whereas the Mark Taper is on hold, “A Transparent Musical” has big things in store. According to Amazon, the show’s producers “intend to bring the show to Broadway sometime in 2024.” The musical, or course, is based on Amazon Prime Video’s Emmy-winning series “Transparent,” created by Joey Soloway, who also wrote the book to the stage musical with MJ Kaufman.

Faith Soloway wrote the music and lyrics to “A Transparent Musical.” Joining them is Tony-winning producer Eva Price (“& Juliet,” “Oklahoma,” “Jagged Little Pill,” “Dear Evan Hansen”), whose play “What the Constitution Means to Me” (by Heidi Schreck), was previously filmed for Amazon Prime Video. “’Transparent’ remains an incredibly impactful series with salient representation for the LGBTQIA+ community,” said Nick Pepper, head of US SVOD wholly owned development, Amazon Studios, in a statement. “This is the ideal series and characters to bring from series to stage, and we are thrilled to partner with Tony-winning Broadway producer Eva Price.

We hope the audience walks away inspired after experiencing this poignant story.” “A Transparent Musical” was the first stage adaptation of an Amazon Studios program, but the company notes that its MGM Studios arm has been well-represented on Broadway, having recently won five Tonys for “Some Like It Hot” and “New York, New York.” At the Mark Taper
