Tolkien fantasy to be a musical

THE Lord Of The Rings is to be turned into the West End's most
expensive musical in a lavish £8 million production.

The adaptation of JRR Tolkien's famous trilogy will open in London in
spring 2005.

Its budget is £1.5 million more than the capital's current most costly
musical, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

"This will be like nothing the West End has ever seen," said producer
Kevin Wallace, who has worked on several Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals.

"We are setting out to re-create Tolkien's fantasy world and it will
have a real sense of wonder and awe for the audience."

I just have visions of Gimli dancing around signing:

  I can't make the leap,
    (toss me, toss me)
  I'll end up in a heap
    (toss me, toss me)
  We'll kill those orcish creeps
    (toss me, toss me)
  For the honor of Helm's Deep
    (toss me, toss me!)

Wagner's Ring of Nieblubomblummlog comes to mind.

It needs to be an opera.

In Klingon and German.

With lots of drunk Dutch guys in the audience just to make it authentic ;-P

CYa!
