Almost Famous, which won Crowe an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, is loosely based on his life as a teenage journalist for Rolling Stone.

The film follows a young William Miller (Patrick Fugit) as he hits the road with the fictional band Stillwater for his story on the group of rock stars.

"I think fans can expect the beautiful sensibility of Cameron, the way he sees the world. There's just a glorious poetry to his writing, and the energy of that time period and the music," Kitt told PEOPLE in May, adding that the rehearsal room is "inspiring" and that he thinks the stage show "will feel that way too."

The composer also explained that those behind the production were "able to do some development work" amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"It's doing what I certainly always want to with adaptations with that — it's a new thing, but also for fans of the film, you will recognize [the film in] the musical," Kitt continued. "But it feels like we have found the way that it sings anew."

He also praised Crowe as "just the sweetest, most kind human being, and full of inspiration."

"That story is obviously a personal one for him, so I feel incredibly honored to get to tell that story with him," Kitt told PEOPLE.
