It looks like the release of Hamilton on Disney+ isn’t the only big musical project that Disney has up their sleeve!
According to The New York Times, Disney Theatrical Productions is working on a musical adaptation of the 2016 film Hidden Figures.

The movie tells the story of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson — three Black mathematicians who worked at NASA during the Space Race and served as the brains behind the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit.
