As of 2014 Menken was composing a new musical based on the 1994 film "Corrina, Corrina," with lyrics by Brian Yorkey and book by Jessie Nelson (writer of the film's screenplay) for singer/actress Audra McDonald. As of 2019, Menken is reuniting with his "Newsies" creators Jack Feldman and Harvey Fierstein to develop a new musical called "Greetings from Niagara Falls". A reading was held in January 2019; however, there is no word on future plans for the project at this time.
