Vulture:

Today Sony’s Columbia Live Stage department announced that Cameron Crowe is writing the book for a musical adaptation of his movie Almost Famous. The stage version will have music from Next to Normal’s Tom Kitt, lyrics from Kitt and Crowe, and direction from British theater director Jeremy Herrin (Wolf Hall).

Almost Famous is one of my favorite movies of all time. (I also really need to give it a rewatch.)

I think this could actually work out OK? For the run of “jukebox musicals" as of late, this one is at least justified.
