I wonder how they'll stage the Battle of Pelennor Fields.

At the very least, a $27 million musical with a 50+ cast will do Toronto a lot of good.
I'm still skeptical this could be pulled off; however, I've heard that the West End did enjoy a very good stage adaptation of another dense fantasy epic, HIS DARK MATERIALS. Maybe a LOTR stage show will be decent (school groups have been dramatizing THE HOBBIT for years).

I'll be interested in how the stage show will look, sound and feel, since the movies are so definitive (and damn perfect!) in realizing Middle-Earth.

That's this production. They've decided not to open it in London because they couldn't find a suitable theatre that was free, so they're premiering it in Toronto instead.

At first, I am sure many asked "How the hell are they going to do LES MISERABLES on the stage"? And look how THAT turned out!
I think it'll be one huge spectacle. Unsure of how good it will be, but definitely at least visually stunning. Unlike anything seen before.
