Rogers & Hobbitstein
According to today's Globe & Mail newspaper, Toronto gets the honour of hosting the world premiere of the
Lord of the Rings musical. According to the reports it's going to be a sweeping operatic spectacle chronicling all three books in 3 1/2 hours, featuring a chorus line of orcs, Gollum in a tap-dancing solo, and Mike's head imploding somewhere out in Wisconson.
I'm still waiting for the Broadway musical versions of: Final Fantasy 8 (wherein Squall is still an angsty dick), Excel Saga (which would have to be directed by Nabeshin, no question) and CSI (where Grissom will sing, "The evidence will never lie/with each case it will catch our guy!").
And yes, I can hear you all scream, "Sacrilege!" from here. But I'd rather prefer the exclamation of "Heresy!" instead. It's so much more colourful. ^-^
Today's Lesson: bad movies can still have good soundtracks. Amazing...
