The Next American Girl Movie Will Be a Musical

Wed, Jul 23

I have read multiple articles and have had quiet a few reader tip me off to rumors that the next American Girl movie will be about Julie and will be a musical.

Here is a quote from Reelzchannel via the Complete Guide to American Girl Doll Collecting:

At a recent press day for Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas confirmed that there are indeed plans for more American Girl movies in the pipeline.

The next American Girl to see her story make it to film? Julie Albright. “We are developing the Julie character,” Goldsmith-Thomas said, “and we’re doing her as a musical, as a high school musical.”

We’re going to have all those great songs from the ’70s,” she continued. “Julie: An American Girl Musical. It’s [set] in San Francisco.”

The movie is just in outline form as of now, so Goldsmith-Thomas was unable to confirm much more about it, but she did say the music will include both original songs written for the movie as well as music from the 1970s, and that they intend to do more open auditions like they did for Kit Kittredge. “Oh, you betcha,” she said.

This should be fun! I have read multiple articles and have had quiet a few reader tip me off to rumors that the next American Girl movie will be about Julie and will be a musical.
