ALW seems to have been an Eminem fan for a while- his playlist on itunes feaures "Loose Yourself". Even if this DOES work out...which.....even though I am not a huge ALW fan, I am curious, Webber seems to have too much on his plate right now to expect completion anytime soon.

Maybe another vampire musical, set in modern-day New York.

Posted: 6/2/07 at 9:22pmAside from the absurdity that is the idea of an Eminem musical, I enjoyed the 50 Cent comments, as he tattletells on his friend's whereabouts.
Personally, I think I have too much bloom.

A rap musical maybe? If done well it could be excellent...
I wonder...
A little known fact is that in the original screenplay, Pan's Labyrinth was Pan's FLAByrinth. Hmmmmmmm...glad they changed it.

A rap musical could actually be very good if it were done right. I have no idea how, but still - I have an open mind, especially since there might be a large man in a spidey suit on the great white way soon.
Maybe he'd have his ex wife in it

Posted: 6/2/07 at 10:57pmWell MTV did a made-for-tv movie called "Carmen: A Hip-Hopera" with Beyonce, and while it wasn't that good, it certainly proved that a rap opera could be done. I think it would be fascinating to see, but I doubt Eminem would want anything to do with ALW.

Posted: 6/3/07 at 1:07amI read this earlier today and Im intriuged. I think it could be intresting. Anything to distract him from the phantom sequel.

Whatever negative comments are being made about the possibility of a rap oriented musical, you can be certain that almost the exact same things were said in the early days of rock musicals.
I think Eminem is a musical genius, and I too would want to see anything he was involved with. I don't know about someone else "portraying" Eminem.

KQuill- Yes . I think he is homophobic. A rapper who uses the word F*G and b*tch to degrade women all the time to sell his record --just too look "hip" is homophobic and worst cowardly . I knew he was a talented rapper specially as a lyricist (have you heard how he uses his rhyme > its just pure genius ) but the fact that some kids who listen to his music and think its cool to use the f*g word to look "hip" - that does not fly good to me. I think The best thing I love about Broadway is it always teaches tolerance and acceptance.
BROADWAY & EMINEM= I dont think so! .. Besides what ( to everyone) makes you think he will work with Andrew Lloyd Weber? The first thing Eminem laid eyes on him, he will say.. "no! "-j*
