Producer Barbara Pasternack emphasized the series' role in inspiring young women and described the musical as nostalgic yet empowering, designed to resonate across generations.

The industry presentation in November will focus on the story set 12 years after the original disbanded, with the original members revisiting their past and facing new challenges.

TWTheatricals is developing a stage musical adaptation of Ann M. Martin's beloved series The Baby-Sitters Club, with industry presentations scheduled in New York City on November 13, 2024, and a planned premiere in 2027.

The musical features music and lyrics by Mark Sonnenblick, known for 'KPop Demon Hunters,' with a book by Kate Wetherhead and direction and choreography by Annie Tippe.

Set twelve years after the original series, the story will focus on the four founding members—Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey—reuniting in Stoneybrook, Connecticut, to reflect on their past and confront current life questions.

The narrative explores themes of friendship, growth, independence, and self-discovery, with the characters returning as 25-year-olds to examine their identities, careers, and relationships.

The project remains in development, with the industry presentation in November aiming to connect audiences through shared memories and contemporary reflections.

The creators aim to appeal to both young and adult audiences by highlighting themes of friendship, growing pains, and empowerment, with a score inspired by '80s and '90s artists like Sheryl Crow and Indigo Girls.

The Baby-Sitters Club series, launched in 1986 by Scholastic, is one of the best-selling children’s book series of all time, with nearly 200 million copies sold worldwide and expanded into TV, film, and graphic novels.

The franchise has grown to over 250 books, spinoffs, and adaptations, including an HBO series, a feature film, and a Netflix series, cementing its cultural impact.

Author Ann M. Martin expressed her excitement and pride in seeing her series adapted into a musical, highlighting its ongoing popularity and influence in inspiring young women.

This musical is part of the series' broader transmedia expansion, including a Netflix show, a Sony Pictures film, and an HBO TV series, showcasing its enduring popularity.
