Degas's Little Dancer becomes a musical

It's been made into a ballet , La Petite Danseuse de Degas, at the Paris Opera Ballet, and recently a book, Painted Ladies, by Cathy Marie Buchanan, and now the story of Degas's Little Dancer is going to be made into a musical:

"The songwriting team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, Tony Award winners for “Ragtime,” will collaborate with the Tony-winning director Susan Stroman (“The Producers”) on the world premiere of the new musical “Little Dancer” in October 2014 at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, the center announced Wednesday."
