The “Sing Street” score is made up of nine songs written for the movie by Carney and Gary Clark (including one that was cut from the film), as well as fragments of ’80s pop songs (including “Rio,” a Duran Duran song also used in the film).

The Off Broadway production has sold well, but got mixed reviews from critics; Ben Brantley, writing in The New York Times, called it “promising but still unfulfilled.”

Taichman said on Tuesday that the creative team was already at work revising the show.

“We’re looking at a lot of things — among them, how to nail the tone of the piece exactly right, and how to explode the world of New Romantics and synthesizers and 1980s pop music into the room more,” she said. “We have listened to the wonderful audiences we’ve had, and have learned a tremendous amount, and we are now thrilled to have the opportunity to make the show better.”

The musical is being produced by Barbara Broccoli, Brian Carmody, Patrick Milling Smith, Michael Wilson, Orin Wolf and Frederick Zollo; it is being capitalized for up to $11 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

“Sing Street” is the 10th new musical announced for the current Broadway season.
