Break out the Phantom Planet: A musical version of The O.C. is coming to Los Angeles.
The one-night-only event August 30 is being put on by director Jordan Ross and producer Lindsey Rosin, who also recently brought fans Cruel Intentions: The Musical (a.k.a the event where Reese Witherspoon famously rocked out in the front row alongside co-stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair).
Flashback Friday: ‘The O.C.’ Had All the Best Music
Over on the official Twitter account for the show, they’ve been teasing cast announcements — including The Flash‘s Rick Cosnett as Sandy Cohen and Drew Seeley as Luke — with more details said to be coming shortly.
As all fans of the best teen drama of all time (yeah, I said it) are aware, the show was already pretty musical, with indie-rock acts like Death Cab for Cutie and Rooney featured prominently on the show, leading to several Music From the O.C. mix CDs circa 2004.
I have an answer to ONE big question we’ve been getting — YES. Seth Cohen will sing a Death Cab for Cutie song!
