Chuck Lorre, creator of US TV hit Two and a Half Men,
is working with Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello to adapt their 1998 album
Painted from Memory into a musical.
The duo won a
Grammy award for one of the record's tracks, I Still Have That Other Girl.
Bacharach said
the show "won't be a comedy", given the album's dark lyrics.
Costello
revealed they were writing new music for the show, which they hoped would make
it to Broadway.
Painted from
Memory was an unusual collaboration between Bacharach, a legendary composer of
classic romantic pop, and Costello, an English singer-songwriter who began his
career in punk.
It also
included the songs God Give Me Strength and This House is Empty Now.
Bacharach said
Lorre contacted him to say he wanted to write a story to go with the songs
without giving details of the storyline.
As well as Two
and a Half Men, Lorre has created several other successful sitcoms including
The Big Bang Theory and Dharma and Greg.
