Following a recent table reading, Chilina Kennedy's Wild About You will receive a 29 hour-long reading and industry presentation in NYC in March. A developmental production is set for early 2027. 

With music and lyrics by Kennedy (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), a book by Dani Stoller (Easy Women Smoking Loose Cigarettes), and additional material by Eric Holmes, Wild About You follows Olivia as she puts together the pieces of her life with a limited memory after finding herself in the hospital. 

Kristin Hanggi (Rock of Ages, Romy and Michele: The Musical) will direct the upcoming reading and industry presentation, with music supervision, music direction, arrangements, and orchestrations by Daniel Edmonds (The Great Gatsby, Shucked). Keaka Productions' Brian Spector (The Hills of California) is producing. Casting will be announced at a later date.

Originally developed at Eclipse Theatre Company and NY Theatre Barn, Wild About You held an industry presentation in New York City in March 2023, and soon after, an album was released through Broadway Records featuring Lea Salonga, Alex Newell, Joaquina Kalukango, Eric McCormack, Jenn Colella, Aisha Jackson, Noah J. Ricketts, and Jay McKenzie. Following the album release, the show played a two-night concert engagement at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
