Tony winner Bob Martin is developing a treatment for a new musical based on the music of the Bee Gees, according to The Las Vegas Review Journal.

The paper reports that hotel developer Steve Wynn has entered into an agreement with brothers Barry and Robin Gibb to produce a musical that would be similar in style to the hit Broadway tuner, Jersey Boys.

The Bee Gees’ hit songs include chart-toppers such as “How Deep Is Your Love,” “If I Can’t Have You,” “Stayin’ Alive,” “Night Fever,” and “More Than a Woman.”

Martin won a Tony for co-writing The Drowsy Chaperone and received an additional Tony nomination for his performance in the show. He wrote the book to the new musical Minsky’s, which will premiere at Los Angeles’ Ahmanson Theatre in January.
