Regina Spektor, the preciously quirky singer-songwriter, will be taking a brief time out from the world of pop music to focus on bringing a Broadway production to life. Spektor will be collaborating with lyricist Michael Korie (Grey Gardens) on a musical adaptation of the play Beauty, which is based on the popular Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. Hopefully she'll keep the dolphin noises to a minimum. [ArtsBeat/NYT]
