Bombadil to do LOTR? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

According to today's Guardian, A LOTR musical is planned for London.

Could the Guardian be exaggerating the possibilities?

Shall Morrissey sing Frodo? Bono, Aragorn? Avril, Arwen? Bjork, Galadriel? Could McCartney do Gandalf or Jagger Saruman?

Musical dream list for LotR eh? I shiver with anticipation...or is that fear? For some reason I am picturing Frodo as a suped up version of "Oliver".."Please, Sir, can I go back home?"

Bjork would be a great Galadriel if anyone could understand what she was saying...she has that freakishness about her. As for the others, I will have to ponder more before passing judgement. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Ahh...so can't picture it...please don't let it happen, all I can visualise is the Fellowship suddenly bursting into song in the mines of Moria and forming a kick-line......oh no...will now have nightmares... [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Eh, I don't like the idea so much. I heard the same thing though. It could be interesting, but I don't see how they can put such a large story into stage form. As for Tolkien's trilogy being put into drama form, I don't think anything is going to top the work that PJ has already done with it, at least not for a very long time.
