Posted: 8/5/04 at 12:06pmNo, it's not a concert. It's a musical based on Pink Floyd's The Wall.

Posted: 8/5/04 at 12:21pmIt could be quite different on stage. Remember the film version of Tommy?

Eric, you are correct!
I am VERY VERY VERY excited about this! My life is complete! This is one of my favorite albums ever and the movie is to die for. Yes it is like the movie TOMMY. It's the ultimate druged-up, disgusting, disturbing, freaky, weird movies ever. This show will bring a complete new audience of people to Broadway. People like me who come from rock'n'roll but got into Broadway because of show like THE WHO'S TOMMY and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. And if Harvey Weinstein has his name on it, it's got a be a great show. This show DOES have the potential to be very stunning visually and a huge specatcle like the movie.

Posted: 8/5/04 at 2:18pmWow, that movie was intense. It's definitely a "What the f*ck?" experience, but I enjoyed it a lot. I hope the Broadway show can capture this effect.

#11re: Pink Floyd's The Wall is coming to Broadway
Posted: 8/5/04 at 4:38pmI just saw the movie - visually it's stunning, and very disturbing. But there's no real narrative - how will this play onstage?

Matt_G- do you have a link??
I've always loved the Wall, so I'm excited for this. I think it definitely has potential to be amazing on stage. How they're going to do it, I have no clue, but I'm just going to hope it'll be great!
I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

I hope not.
Dark Side Of The Moon is a much better work. Also, Relics.
Pink Floyd is best very late at night, with no distractions, from begining to end.

FOOLS!! It's these same assumptions that killed Tanz der Vampire! You may have destroyed Steinman, but you are NOT taking Roger Waters! I'll have you know, as a major fan of the Floyd, this MUSICAL is being made to SPITE the movie... and it will contain a truckload of humour, completely opposite it. Roger disliked the movie, because there was no humour, and he's wanted to do this for years as a MUSICAL. It will be awesome. There will be new songs and everything. I first heard news about this several years ago, but they're finally gonna attempt it. In other news, Waters is also working on the opera CA IRA. Hope that comes to Broadway 2

I have always loved Floyd. (I've seen them seven or eight times in concert..starting back in the days of Ummagumma). I'm a little worried about what this could turn into...I wish Roger and the rest of the guys still acknoweldged each others' existance and could work together... but still, if the rock to Broadway trend is to continue, then it might just as well be with The Wall.

I wasn't aware there were many of them on Broadway. Which shows are you referring to?

THE WALL is not a rock review. It's an actual composition movie musical that's being brought to the stage. That's all. No different from THE WHO'S TOMMY. It's not like it's PINK FLOYD greatest hits made into a story like MAMMA MIA! or MOVIN' OUT.

Posted: 8/6/04 at 4:47pmInteresting. I heard talks of that a long time ago, but thought that had fizzled out.
