According to Sky News, via Slashdot, there are now plans underway to
make LotR into "the most expensive musical ever seen in London":

"LOTR TO BE MUSICAL
Fresh from its runaway success at the Oscars, fantasy epic Lord of the
Rings is set to hit the stage as a lavish musical, reports say."

Good grief. I can hardly wait for the Nazgul chorus line. Or, maybe
Gandalf can sing to the Balrog, "Come on Baby, Light my Fire".

I'm just hoping April 1 is coming early this year.
