LOTR The Musical!

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the greatest-hobbit-of-them-all dept.

Blue Stone writes "The Lord of The Rings, is to become a musical, to be staged in London's West End, in 2005, on the book's 50th anniversary. The £8m (US$12m) production has lyrics by Shaun McKenna and music by Stephen Keeling and Bernd Stromberger, while Matthew Warchus will direct." If they can get Leonard Nimoy to sing the Bilbo Baggins song on stage, I'd go ;)

  2. Take Action Against the FCC (OT) by syrupMatt · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This Monday, FCC Chair Michael Powell will hold his vote on media
    consolidation. There's nothing special about that date -- it's totally
    arbitrary. The vote will conclude a process which has shown deliberate
    disregard for the views and opinions of the American
    people. Powell has refused to even release the actual language of
    the rule change -- it won't be known until after the vote. And he's
    only held a single meeting to hear the views of the public. Even when a
    bipartisan group of Senators requested that he give Congress some time
    to discuss the impact of this change, Powell brushed them off.

    Chairman Powell still has the power to delay the rule change and allow
    time to have a democratic debate about its consequences. Please call
    him today and ask him to allow a real public debate on an issue of such
    massive importance.

    You can reach Powell's office at:
    (202) 418-1000

    Once you've made your call, please let us know at:
