The show will feature music from late singer's two records "Frank" and "Back to Black" and will reportedly focus on "the enormous pressure a sensationalist public put on a young superstar when her problems began," according to organizers of the performance.
Source material for the play includes interviews, acceptance speeches, concerts, newspapers articles, letters and songs. Winehouse will be played by 29-year-old actress Johanne Louise Schmidt, and the show is set to open on Jan. 30 at the Danish Royal Theatre's 220-capacity Red Room.
