Have ya'll seen this article about LOTR? I guess they aren't calling it a musical anymore.

exactly, that's why they are thinking Las Vegas. Could we possibly see Lord of the Rings at Disney World?

No, we'd see it at Universal Studio's CityWalk. 
Interesting thought. Would this make more money in a U.S. sit-down production, or a tour?
Because of the cast size, I doubt they would do both.

Posted: 7/26/05 at 11:00pmMr. Wynn will probably build a special LOTR Theatre for the show itself with like... things hanging from the ceiling or something... maybe indoor trees.

I really really look for this.
Hope I can afford the ticket though.

Posted: 7/26/05 at 11:06pmIt sounds like it's too big to tour effectively as envisioned...I'd be just as happy with it never coming near Broadway and ruining my mental imagery of the book and the very-well-conceived film trilogy...

No, that would be Howard Shore's gorgeous, masterpiece score for the film trilogy.
That said, over the years there has been countless musical compositions inspired by Tolkien (everything from folk music to Led Zeppelin), so I'm looking forward to what the musical team can come up with.

Posted: 7/26/05 at 11:41pmyes, Blue Wizard, I COMPLETELY agree with you. However, I did say that it would be "great" not "the best".
