“…the musical is dying because it cannot support an original Idea.” May i point out that there is NO SUCH THING as an Original Idea in this age!!! everything today is taken form myth, other literary or entertainment sources. So yes theatre has been going revival and adaption crazy but some of them are not bad! some a re excellent! and they are helping theatre to live on in a society where it no longer is held in high prestigiege (i cant spell) as it was once upon a time. . . In regards to this topic! LOTR the musical, personally i think it isn't a bad idea and yes it cost heaps but mroe to the fact it's bad TIMING! Not straight after the movie and teh book has just been a huge success again. . . people who see the movies will have extremely high expectations of the musical. . . ~ Tari The Writer is a child forever listening at the keyhole of the adult world.
