According to the New York Times, a musical is in the works that features the story of hiphop legends Run DMC. Paula Wagner, a veteran in Hollywood is in negotiation with Rev Run, DMC and the estate of Jam Master Jay to bring this project to light. Paula Wagner is most notable for her long working relationship with Tom Cruise as a producer of some of his films and also as Mr. Cruise's agent.

This will be Paula Wagner's first attempt at producing a broadway musical as all her producer credits go toward motion pictures, and this is most certainly a first for the legendary rap group as well. As of now, the entire project is still up in the air but there is talk that the remaining members of the group may provide new material and/or a composer will be brought on board for new songs. In any case, should be interesting to see how, when, and if this project will take shape into the reality that is New York City's Broadway. We will keep you posted on all the latest updates as they come. Stay tuned
