The musical based on the iconic 2004 film 13 Going On 30 is officially under works and will open in London and Manchester in 2025. The play has been titled the same as the movie, starring Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo, and will follow the story of Jenna Rink, an awkward 13-year-old girl who wishes to skip high school. 

According to the official synopsis of the play, “Jenna Rink is an adorably awkward 13-year-old girl who wishes she could skip over the misery of high school. When her birthday wish comes true, Jenna magically wakes up as an adult to find herself ‘thirty, flirty and thriving’ as the editor of a fashion magazine with a seemingly perfect life.”

It further reads, “But as she gradually unravels the mystery of what kind of person she has become, she goes on a journey to work out what—and who—really matters.” 

Meanwhile, the director’s seat for the play has been taken by Andy Fickman, who is also known for his work in Heather: The Musical. Additionally, the musical will be an adaptation of the book by Josh Goldsmith and Kathy Yuspa, who also co-wrote the original film. 

As per the statement released by the creators of the play, “When we wrote the movie 13 Going on 30, we never dreamt that on the film’s 20th anniversary, we’d get the chance to see a whole new generation fall in love with Razzles and feel thirty, flirty, and thriving.”

Selena Gomez and David Henrie are set to reprise their roles as Alex Russo and Justin Russo in the Wizards of Waverly Place’s reboot series. While fans of Gomez are excited to watch her play the celebrated character, so is the actress, who claims to owe everything to the Disney show.

In conversation with People Magazine, the singer-actress discussed her experience working on the project and shared the new updates to look out for in the upcoming series.  

While interviewing the media portal, the Monte Carlo actress revealed that the show’s return is a good opportunity for the audience to refresh their memories, while those who couldn’t watch it before can relive it now. 

The Love On crooner stated, “It’s the best feeling in the whole world to be able to bring this back for you and to all the people who have never seen it before.” She further added, “My sister included. I’ve made her watch it. I don’t think she’s that into it, but I was so genuinely happy to be able to just bring the nostalgia back.”

Janhvi Kapoor and Shikhar Pahariya have painted the town red with their heartwarming love. From setting couple fashion goals to supporting each other, they make an ideal pair.
