New musical EUROVISION SONG CONTEST: THE STORY OF FIRE SAGA in development

On the heels of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, the development of a new musical based on the Netflix motion picture, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, has been announced.

The production will feature a book by Will Ferrell, Harper Steele and Anthony King, with music by Savan Kotecha, and direction by Alex Timbers.

Will Ferrell said: “We are more than excited to bring Eurovision to Broadway. The stage musical is a perfect place to continue our celebration of all the things we love about this amazing and unifying song competition.”

Alex Timbers said: “Will Ferrell and Harper Steele are my comedy heroes. And when I first saw their joyful movie “Eurovision” during the pandemic, it buoyed spirits during a very dark time. With this stage adaptation, I can’t wait to bring that same mix of heart, spectacle, irreverence, and awe to audiences across the world.”

The 2020 film starred Ferrell alongside Rachel McAdams and tells the story of aspiring Icelandic musicians Lars Erickssong and Sigrit Ericksdottir as they are given the chance to represent their country at the world’s most famous song competition. The film’s original song ‘Husavik (My Hometown)’, written by Savan Kotecha, Fat Max Gsus, and Rickard Göransson, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2020.
