Tony nominee Shoshana Bean (Mr. Saturday Night, Wicked) will play Diane Warren in the December 13 industry reading of  Obsessed, The Story of Diane Warren...so far, the new jukebox musical about the life of songwriter Diane Warren.

The cast will also feature Elizabeth Teeter (Beetlejuice) as Young Diane Warren, Lauren Cipoletti as Cher and Trisha Yearwood, Natalie Gold as Mom, David Pittu as Dad, Andrew Kober as Jerry Bruckheimer, Paul Alexander Nolan as Guy, Jeb Brown as Clive Davis, Ephie Aardema, Kayla Davion as Toni Braxton, Jakeim Hart, Matthew Hydzik as Stephen Tyler, Eli Tokash, and Grace Yoo.

The developing musical, featuring a book by two-time Memphis Tony winner Joe DiPietro, will be directed by Olivier winner and three-time Tony winner Kathleen Marshall (Wonderful Town, The Pajama Game, Anything Goes). Obsessed also has musical supervision and orchestrations by Lon Hoyt. Irit TenHengel produces.

Obsessed seeks to answer the question, “How could the woman who wrote some of the world's most famous love songs have never been in love?” 

The musical includes such Warren hits as “Rhythm of the Night,” “Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now,” “If I Could Turn Back Time,” “Unbreak My Heart,” “Because You Loved Me,” and “I Don't Want to Miss a Thing.” The show also includes new songs written by Warren.

Warren has penned nine No. 1 and 32 top-10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and is tied for having written the most No. 1 songs as a sole writer in Billboard history. Her songs have been featured in more than 100 motion pictures.

Tony winners DiPietro and Marshall were also recently announced for another jukebox musical, one based on the life and career of the late Frank Sinatra.
