Disney studios want to develop a musical with the songs of Lionel Richie, on the model of Mamma Mia! , which was inspired by the titles of Abba. A project rather well underway, according to Variety , since the working title has already been found: All Night Long , one of the singer's flagship titles. Lionel Richie, as well as his manager, Bruce Eskowitz, should be the producers.

Nothing official
For now, neither the singer's camp nor that of Disney have confirmed the project, which would only be in its infancy. Lionel Richie would have proposed the idea in January to the studios he knows however well. Indeed, the Mickey firm owns ABC, the chain which broadcasts American Idol , of which he is one of the jurors.
In addition, the songs of Lionel Richie should rouse the crowds. The artist has won four Grammy awards and has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, over a career spanning more than fifty years, which is said to be far from over. .
