It's all happening: 'Almost Famous' is coming to Broadway next month. Ahead of its debut, Cameron Crowe reflects on adapting his 2000 autobiographical movie—and how his late mother (and muse!) gave her stamp of approval.
was one of his favorite movies—“every Cameron Crowe movie for me was an event,” he said.
“You left home at 15 to write about Led Zeppelin,” his mother once said to him. “Your sister went off to be a stewardess. Was I not fun?” Kitt and Crowe’s challenge was to fit their new songs snuggly next to the classics.

The end result? A backstage pass to peek into a world that feels fantastical and real.
Solea Pfeiffer, making her Broadway debut at 28 , is also steering clear of the movie while she’s in the musical. She’s up against Kate Hudson’s portrayal of Penny Lane. “I have adopted this attitude of when you are tackling something iconic,” she said, “just by virtue of being yourself within it, you are already taking ownership.” It helps, she added, that “I am 10 feet taller than Kate Hudson. And I’m not white.
“One thing that I have really had to keep in mind is recognizing what it meant to have sexual autonomy [in 1973],” said Pfeiffer. “Penny Lane was living in a world where a few months before our story takes place,was passed in the Supreme Court. What is really blowing my mind is that I’m playing a character that actually has more rights than half of the women in America right now.”in New York in 2018, Crowe sometimes ducked into a room “to hide for a while because it stirred up so much stuff.
