Hmmmmm interesting topic.

Being involved in a musical right now for school, I wonder how they are going to make this work. There is no way they could put in all the relevent material, unless the thing is twelve hours long (Sweetness!!!!). However, I don't think that's something the actors, or the general public would like.

Also, I wonder how they would work in the songs. For, they would need a whole lot of songs. More, I think, than Tolkien wrote. Also Tolkien's songs aren't the type typically found in a musical.

I guess we will just have to see how this turns out. Anybody know if it's going to come to the U.S.?
