More and more of your childhood icons are being made into musicals. This time, Archie, Betty, Veronica and the rest of the Riverdale gang are coming to the Broadway stage.
Funny or Die’s Adam McKay will be writing the book for the musical. “Archie represents a bygone era of America, and like all bygone eras, there are elements we miss and elements that should be bygone,” McKay, who was also behind Anchorman and Talladega Nights, said in a statement, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “This will be a musical that deals with both those realities in a bright, colorful and slightly demented way.”
