Anne Frank. (AP) Last update - 20:50 09/01/2008 Coming soon to a Spanish theater: Anne Frank the musical By Haaretz Staff Tags: Holocaust, Anne Frank  Millions read about Anne Frank's life while she was hiding with her family from the Nazis in an attic in Amsterdam. Soon, theater lovers in Spain will be able to see the Jewish teen on Madrid's stages: The Diary of Anne Frank has been made into a tragic musical, and will open at Madrid's Calderon Theatre in February, according to the BBC's Web site. The show's director, Rafael Alvero, said that initial reactions to the musical were mixed. "There were doubts that a musical could be made from a story such as this," he said. "It's understandable that the show is very emotional. What we want to do will be reached through the music- and that is to understand the story better."

The cast members also sang numbers from the musical to museum staff.
