Title: Be still my bleeding eardrums.
Post by: Grumpmeister on April 23, 2009, 11:14:47 AM: Jade Goody, the musical? Just jow long can a dead horse be flogged for? Being stuck un a theatre and having to endure this would be my idea of hell.

A musical based on Jade Goody's life is being created, a former business partner and friend of the late reality TV star has confirmed.

Danny Hayward, who is in charge of the project, said he is planning to hold open auditions to fill the lead role of the 27-year-old herself.

"Jade was just an ordinary girl and the person who plays her will reflect that," he said.

"The most important thing is to give someone a break, just like she got."

'Dream'

He said dates for the auditions will be announced in three weeks' time.

However, Goody's former publicist Max Clifford played down the show.

"It's an idea that's got legs, but it's nothing definite. It's not all signed and sealed, but it's something that's likely to happen."

He added that if the production did go ahead he would help promote it and cast the lead roles.

"I got very close with Jade in the last year and spent a lot of time with her," he said.

Earlier this month, Clifford revealed he had been in talks with several film companies about making a movie based on Goody.

He told Radio 1 Newsbeat that they were "serious discussions" because her "incredible life touched so many people".

'Creative team'

Mr Hayward, who was one of Goody's "best men" at her wedding to Jack Tweed in February, said the star had always wanted to be on stage.

"Her dream was as a little girl was to be in a musical, so so obviously when she passed away it felt fitting to do something like this."

He said Goody had not known about the project, as the idea had been devised since her death.

He added he was currently "putting scripts together" and employing the "creative team".

"It's still in its infant stages, but it's definitely going to happen."

Goody, who became famous after appearing in Big Brother, passed away in March after she lost her high-profile battle with cervical cancer.

Thousands of people turned out to see the funeral procession, which travelled through London. before reaching Buckhurst Hill in Essex, where the funeral took place.
