Lord of the Rings....The Musical!!!

Lord of the Rings Trilogy Forum

Someone is make a Lord of the Rings musical. Do you think this will work??

I don't think that is such a good idea.

Hmmm, I can't really see a Lotr musical, but you never know I guess, I'd have to go see it if they did So they'd get my money...is it like a live musical are you talking about, or one on screen?

Hmmm, there are enough songs in LOTR, but how on earth are they gonna cut it down to a musical length? They cut out enough material making the films, and they are 10 hours long in total... Plus they would have to include Tom Bombadil- he doesn't stop singing!

Sandy! Where have you been???

And i dont know, i just heard it on the radio, but it is definitely happening!

I've been a busy boy

Is it happening ON the radio, or in the West End or summat?

Yea I was just about to ask that Sandy...And welcome back

I think it is the West end....definitely not TV or radio! I really think this wont work!!!

Yep, definitely agree.

One of my friends went to see the 'His Dark Materials' trilogy stage production, not quite a musical, but it gives some idea of how an incredible piece of literature can be ingested, digested and excreted right there onstage. Apparently it had been condensed so much (still 6 hours long though ) that they had to morph the plot and characters into a surrealist's fantasy.
