“I want to pull back the curtain,” Knowles wrote in a statement on his website. “I feel it’s time to give the world an opportunity to hear, see and feel the victories and failures that I’ve had as a husband, father, and manager who risked everything in pursuit of fulfilling dreams—those of mine and others.”
“Survivor: The Destiny’s Child Musical” will explore all the good, bad and the ugly of the group’s rise to stardom and and the sacrifices Knowles had to make on the road to building his musical empire.
“Ultimately, the story shares the message that building a dream takes sacrifice, even at the cost of everything and everyone you love,” the statement reads.
Knowles is collaborating with writer, producer, director Je’Caryous Johnson, whose most recent stage productions include, “Redemption of a Dogg,” a musical based on the life and music of Snoop Dogg, and “Set It Off Live,” based on the 1996 crime drama starring Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Vivica A. Fox.
