Break out your dancing shoes, Theater Fans: Sir Elton John is working on bringing George Orwell’s classic novella Animal Farm to the West End stage in a new musical.

The “Rocket Man” has teamed up with Lee Hall — the writer behind his stage hit Billy Elliot — to put together a new adaptation of Orwell literary classic about a pig, Napoleon, who destroys a rival and rides roughshod over other opponents in his bid to control the old Manor Farm.

“I’m deep into it, writing songs for pigs and other four-legged friends,” Hall told The Daily Mail. “Having worked with him on Billy Elliot, I know that Elton likes to have the lyrics done and have them in front of him so I’ll work on a batch before I give him anything to look at. I would think it’s going to take about two years before it’s all ready to go.”

Hall and his associates have spent years securing the rights necessary to bring the 1945 story to the stage.

“It’s taken about two years. We almost gave up but there was always that one last licence to go after.”
