Title: Lennon: The Musical
Post by: Mr. Kite on April 14, 2005, 02:44:47 AM
I just read this article about John's life being made into a musical and it sounds pretty interesting.  I would love to see it one day if I ever got the chance and plus new, never before heard Lennon songs is always a bonus.  Anyways here's the link: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=2329&ncid=2329&e=3&u=/afp/20050413/ennew_afp/afplifestyleuslennonpeopleshow_050413014005

Heard about it, as well.

If it ever comes to Broadway in New York, I'm certainly hoping to get tickets.

I don't like the thought. Its such a long way from Revolution to Lennon the Musical. I don't know if John would have been that happy. itall reeks of middle class comfyness to me.

PS I should state I hate musicals, so I am  biased.

Well wasn't (at one time) John & Pauls ambition to write a musical?

I am a big fan of musicals, but I feel that this might cheapen the Lennon legacy if done incorrectly.

It's previewing in San Fransisco right now -- I know someone who's seen it all ready. =D It sounds a little different, but still really awesome.
