 Lord Of The Rings Musical
Well I find it interesting. A musical of LOTR. That is quite an undertaking. It will premier in London in 2005. I'm curious and would definitely LOVE to see it.
I think it will lend itself quite nicely to a musical setting. Today we call them musicals. 150 to 200 years ago they would have been called operas. It would be an incredibly LONG musical like Nicholas Nichelby I think but it can be good just the same. 
I understand there is also an Opera written for STAR TREK back in the early 1980s. It was all ready to be performed but there was some sort of production problem. Probably some legal entanglement and the production was shelved. Too bad.
There is also a LOTR ballet that was performing. I heard it was quite good.
What do you think?

There has always been rumours of a Star Trek musical opera but thankfully that is all they are- rumours.

Musical version of Lord of the Rings
Nope, not a joke, they are planning a West End musical of Lord of the Rings, costing some eight million quid, auditions start next year.
"I am quite attratced to things that are seemingly impossible," says Matthew Warchus, the director, who recently directed Our House and Tell Me on a Sunday. Well, looks like he has got his heart's desire here then!
"There are obviously huge challenges, like the trees, the battles and the monsters, plus the scale of the journey." He's no fool, is he?
Anyone care to guess what the songs will be? Plenty of material in the books, of course... oh dear...

Well guys the STAR TREK opera is NOT rumor. It was completed and ready to go. The Metropolitan Opera here in NYC were going to premier it in the mid 1980s but there was some kind of contractual problem and some other production glitch and it was shelved. DANG! But LOTR will have better luck. Plus it is going to premier in London in 2005.
Maybe with the success of teh LOTR musical, just maybe the STAR TREK opera will get some new life breathed into it and it will be performed.

I don't know, my friends aren't too enthralled about it, but I've been previously obsessed with musicals, and I want to see it!
Edit: Do you want to know about the auditions, or do you want to audition?

No offense to anyone. but I don't think it is going to be very good. I might be suprised. I am definately going to go see it. THe reason I don't think it is going to be good is because...well.........I don't really know. Don;t hate me if I'm stupid

No, I don’t think you’re stupid…most ppl don’t think it’s going to be good either.
Well, to the person who wants to know about auditions, I can’t edit my post, and I forgot to put this in here before.
If you want to audition, you have to be a part of this group…and you get in first. I can’t remember what it’s called, but yeah. You can still audition, but there’s, like, no chance.
