If only J.R.R. Tolkien were alive to see what his LORD OF THE RINGS has wrought...
Plans are afoot for a musical adaptation of Tolkien's fantasy trilogy, to be performed on London's famous West End theater row. Film producer and Tolkien Enterprises chief Saul Zaentz is involved as are lyricist Shaun McKenna and composer Stephen Keeling. The production is being budgeted at a hefty $13 million dollars.
The play's producers would like the musical RINGS to debut in the West End in 2005. Undoubtedly the success of Peter Jackson's film trilogy had a huge hand in convincing investors that people might be interested in watching singing hobbits. Actually, when you stop and think about it, Tolkien's tome does have quite a bit of songmaking in it by the main characters. Will Gollum get his own solo?
