Is it going to be a 6-hour musical??? I don't think I could sit there for THAT long!! LOL

What the hell can they do with that??? I'd like to see what the bill is for A/V and set design.

No.



If everyone was afraid to try to make into a movie for so long, why would anyone think that it could work as a play? And a musical at that.

Also, if the movies were a combined 10 hours, and arguably too short, why is a 6 hour play going to do this.

Just say "no."

Saw some clips of rehersal today on TV.... it actually looked interesting...

It's done in sorta the same style as the Lion King - specifically the alterations and costumes designed to mimick "non-human" forms... the guy working on the Nazghul was most impressive up on the stilts and all...

Amen Sister!!!!!


I saw an article today in the paper about it but I didn't read it.

Don't get me wrong I loved the movies but I just can't vision Frodo doing a ballad. Or if they go off the movies, Aragorn and Arwen singing a love song (which I know isn't really in the books but they are the love interest in the movie and every musical has to have a love interest and I just can't see Eowyn and Faramir pulling that off)

It's 3 1/2 hours long with two 15 minute intermissions.

The set looks amazing. I'm still a little suspicious though.
