James Taylor's Music Inspires New Stage Musical 'Fire & Rain'

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts and Tony Award-winning director David Cromer team up for a musical based on Taylor's iconic songs, though no premiere date has been announced.

The musical 'Fire & Rain' will feature an original story inspired by James Taylor's music, written by Tracy Letts and directed by David Cromer.
The production is named after Taylor's 1970 hit song 'Fire and Rain,' which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
James Taylor, a six-time Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, has had a career spanning over six decades.
Workshops for the musical were conducted in late 2024, but no timeline for its premiere has been revealed.
The project reflects Broadway's growing trend of jukebox musicals celebrating the works of iconic musicians like Dolly Parton and Neil Diamond.
