A musical on Destiny’s Child is on its way, and it’ll be overseen by Beyoncé‘s father Matthew Knowles, who managed the group until they disbanded in 2006.
The new project, which is called “Survivor: The Destiny’s Child Musical,” will be written by Je’Caryous Johnson, whose past work includes a stage play of the 1996 film “Set It Off.”
The musical will premiere in Houston next year and has plans to be on Broadway, as well as London’s West End.
Knowles didn’t only manage Destiny’s Child, but he eventually quit his full-time job to do so and was largely responsible for getting them signed to Columbia Records in 1997.

“I want to pull back the curtain,” said Knowles in a press statement. “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.”
It’s been said that Beyoncé won’t be involved in the making of the musical, it’ll be told from the perspective of Knowles. Plus, it won’t hide the low moments of the group’s career and will show the “achievements, obstacles and evolution” they’ve experienced.






“Ultimately, the story shares the message that building a dream takes sacrifice, even at the cost of everything and everyone you love,” the press statement reads.

Johnson also talked about the musical and said writing it is incredibly special for him, since he’s from Houston just like the group.
“It is my mission to tell the stories of our legends and cement their legacies in the history of our world,” he stated. “But this one is very dear to me. As a native Houstonian, I have a special affinity for Destiny’s Child because we are from the same city and it is one that breeds greatness.”
“I can assure their fans and mine that I will give everything I have to this story and will make sure it is the greatest show they ever experience,” added Johnson.
