"The Wall" is coming to Broadway! http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=769&e=1&u=/nm/20040805/music_nm/stage_pinkfloyd_dc
I predicted that this would happen after the success of The Who's Tommy on Broadway. I said to my friends how doing "the Wall" as a rock opera/concept musical would really work these days. I can't wait to hear more on this. Thanks
we should go see it at the Museum of Natural Science... they have a new fangled light show thing for it... i think they call them lasers or something... link
If it's the same show they had at the Hayden Planetarium @ the Museum of Natural Science in New York Last year, yes you should go! And make sure you go with the right attitude.
I haven't heard anything recently and there haven't been any auditions here in New York for it. So I'm not sure if it's gonna happen. The only online story I could find was from 1998. FlyerFanatic what did they say about it on the radio? ----------------------- The life of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury is the basis of a new Broadway musical scheduled to open late this year or in early 1999. The play, tentatively entitled "Queen," uses that group's music to tell Mercury's life story from childhood through his untimely death from AIDS in 1991. The other members of Queen are co-producing the show, which was written by Craig Lucas, the screenwriter of the Meg Ryan/Alec Baldwin movie "Prelude To A Kiss." The show will be directed by Chris Renshaw, whose credits include the most recent Broadway revival of "The King And I." No word yet on who's in the running for the starring role.
Man don't I wish I had that kind of money. Still don't know if it will hold a candle to their concert at Rice Stadium, though.
Hmm. The article only mentions Waters. I wonder if Gilmour et al will be involved? And, if so, could this spark a hell-freezes-over-eagles-esque reunion?
I respectfully disagree. The rain sparkling in the lasers all the way to the sky was INCREDIBLE. The Dome show was great as well, but the Rice show convinced me that God is a PF fan.
without a doubt, one of the best memories of my life as a concertgoer. the skies opened up during "Wish You were Here" and I truly felt a connection with whatever it is we call God.
