Californiaaa, here we comeeee!

Forget the reboot -- we're now in the era of the musical adaptation. After news of a "Full House (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/06/23/perez-hilton-full-house-musical_n_7647816.html)" musical and "Clueless (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/06/26/clueless-musical_n_7670666.html)" musical, "The O.C. (http://variety.com/2015/legit/news/the-o-c-musical-in-development-1201529969/)" is the latest TV show to get the on-stage treatment, according to Variety. The teen drama, which originally ran from 2003 to 2007 on Fox (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/05/21/the-oc-stories_n_7337446.html), is being turned into a musical in Los Angeles. The sad news? The show will only run for one night on Aug. 30.

"The O.C. Musical" comes from the producers behind "Cruel Intentions: The Musical (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/05/29/cruel-intentions-renion_n_7466012.html)," with Jordan Ross directing and Lindsey Rosin producing. They've even set up a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/ocmusical) to share updates on the special production. So far, we know the show will feature characters Seth Cohen, Luke Ward, Sandy Cohen, Kirsten Cohen and show creator Josh Schwartz -- played by BuzzFeed's senior entertainment editor (https://twitter.com/ocmusical/status/613866548332068864), Jarett Wieselman. Here's what else we know:

The show will feature songs from the series, such as "Paint the Silence" when Marissa and Ryan kissed on a Ferris wheel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=14&v=a7ji8LVuiKY):

The show takes place before Taylor Townsend joined in Season 3:

@VladaGelman (https://twitter.com/VladaGelman) our story takes place pre-Taylor, but we love ourselves some @autumnreeser (https://twitter.com/autumnreeser) so we plan on honoring her!

Sadly, the won't be any Chrismukkah in the musical:

@grandbudapest (https://twitter.com/grandbudapest) our show takes place during the summer, so no, but we'll pay homage of course!
