A stage musical adaptation of the film Fighting with My Family is in development, expanding Paige’s story from Norwich into the professional wrestling world for live theater.

The soundtrack will be written by Miranda Cooper, whose British pop credits include Kylie Minogue, Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Pet Shop Boys, and Alesha Dixon.

Johnson and Merchant praise the film’s humor, grit, and heart, highlighting the musical’s potential to capture these elements on stage.

The production has not announced casting, venue details, or a firm timeline beyond aiming for a late-2027 release window.

A workshop and public presentation plan are in place, with first public performances targeted for 2027 and possible cameos from the film’s stars.

Tilted Musicals, in conjunction with Seven Bucks Productions and Birmingham Hippodrome, is developing the show, with workshopping set for this year and a public presentation in 2027 after closed workshops.

More project details and updates are available at fightingwithmyfam.com.

The project emphasizes a new, original musical approach rather than a direct film remake.

Filming and writing sessions emphasize authentic family input and material not used in the film’s development.

Bevis’s life story, including childhood abuse and resilience, informs the broader narrative alongside the memoir context, Hell in Boots.

Dany Garcia and Seven Bucks Productions stress the story’s resilience and humor, with potential to expand in a live setting.

The musical direction aims to move beyond the film’s pub-rock sound toward a broader festival-ready musical palette.
