Imladris has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

Maybe this should be moved the Mirth forum?

I actually think it could work. Could .

I sincerely doubt they will have rock music or anything like that. If the website is any foretelling of the production, it looks as if it will be extremely serious. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they had all of the good old songs that Tolkien wrote in there. In fact, I wouldn't even be surprised if the songs May It Be, Gollum's Song, and Into the West were in there just because a character is obviously singing it (Galadriel = May It Be, Gollum = Gollum's Song, and Into the West could easily be sung by Galadriel). A musical doesn't have songs all the way through it. If we were to count all the songs in Lord of the Rings and put tunes to them, I'd bet that as a stage production LotR would already count as a musical. Not to mention if someone were to dig up the tale of Luthien and Beren for Aragorn and Arwen.

In a way, it would be quite a fun challenge. Naturally there wouldn't be a need for the grand special effects that were in the movie because most of those weren't in the book anyway. In fact, it would be pretty darn easy to do most of the film, since most of it is travelling anyway.
