Lily Allen: ‘Bridget Jones’ musical may never be seen’
By Josh Haggis
Lily Allen has cast doubts on the future of the West End version of Bridget Jones’ Diary.
The singer has written songs for the stage adaptation of Helen Fielding’s much-loved novel, which was originally set to debut in 2011.
However, the show has been marred by a series of delays, and Allen has now suggested the public may never get to hear her work.
Speaking to Popjustice this week, Allen said of the musical: “It’s finished and it’s brilliant. But I don’t know if it will ever see the light of day.”
Pressed for further details, Allen replied: “I cannot divulge. [My favourite song is] called Yummy and it’s Bridget singing to a fridge.”
Lily Allen’s new album Sheezus is released on May 5 – and will feature the singles Hard Out Here, Air Balloon and Our Time, as well as a track called Sheezus, whose music video was released earlier this week (April 23).
