ABC and Dick Clark Productions Partner to Present FOR THE RECORD: LIVE!

According to Variety, ABC and Dick Clark Productions are partnering to create a live, televised version of the popular For the Record, an immersive production that celebrates the soundtracks of legendary filmmakers in a live theatrical experience. The production has gained a large cult following in L.A and the growth of the production seen since it opened in an East Hollywood bar in 2010, combined with the surge in popularity of live TV musicals, has inspired the team to create a film version of the event.

For the Record has celebrated such film luminaries as Quentin Tarantino, Baz Luhrmann, John Hughes, and others since its inception. Theatre fans may remember Spring Awakening's Alex Wyse and Paramour's Ruby Lewis, from For the Record: Dear John Hughes, and For the Record: Baz, respectively.

No word yet on casting or when the TV event will take place, but in the meantime, check out the trailer for For the Record: Baz below, and for the full Variety article, click here.
