AceShowbiz - The creator of cult series "Arrested Development" is considering a stage musical version of the sitcom.

Actor Jason Bateman shared the news in a cast interview on breakfast show "Good Morning America" on Monday, May 21, when he was asked if a musical episode of the recently revived TV hit would ever happen.

"(Creator) Mitch Hurwitz has actually toyed not so comedically about doing a live Arrested Development show, actually," he shared of the possible theatre plans. "He's talked a little bit about that. I don't know if that will happen."

Hurwitz has yet to personally share his thoughts on the idea.
