"but kinda strange I mean if anybody has read the book or seen the movie"

Don't worry, I doubt anyone has done either of these things, so we should be safe.

The first preview is Saturday. It was delayed 2 days.

Sounds to me like it's going to go the same way as Moses: The Musical.

Now I want Val Kilmer to be Gandalf.

Hey! Ho! To the pub I go,
To heal my heart and drown my woe.
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
But there still be many miles to go!
Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain
And the stream that falls from hill to plain.
Better than rain or rippling brook
Is a mug of beer inside this Took!

The music should be really interesting. India's (and Bombay Dreams') AR Rahman and a Scandinavian band (sorry don't know the name) are collaborating.

I can't wait to hear it.
