The show, titled James Bond: The Musical, will have an original storyline and will include several well-known Bond villains as well as some fresh faces.
Saltzman told Playbill.com that the musical will also include a new Bond girl, with the show set to open its doors to the public in late 2017 or early 2018.
She added that a venue has yet to be confirmed, but will either open on Broadway or in Las Vegas. Further details about the show or information about casting have yet to be announced.
