Wow, been awhile since we had a RING-PING, LOTR as a musical? hmmm. Could be interesting, especially the dancing dwarves and singing ring wraiths.
To: HairOfTheDog
Thanks for the ping. King Kong still sucks, BTW.

I hate musicals. And I love The Lord of the Rings. You couldn't pay me to sit through this.

It really depends on the music.
If it has a great score ( and I don't know one way or the other) then it will be a hit. That's just how musicals are.
The films had an exciting score; the second film ended with "Gollum's Song" which I think would make a serviceable number on stage.

Gamgee was referring to the spectacular failure of “Mount Doom - the Musical,” which debuted on Broadway last year and closed the same night, bankrupting its producers and principal investors Meriadoc Brandybuck of Buckland and Peregrine Took of the Tookland, both in the Shire.

Artist: performed by Emiliana Torrini Lyrics
Song: Gollum's Song Lyrics
Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more
Don't say goodbye
Don't say I didn't try
These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies you told us
The hurt, the blame!
And we will weep to be so alone
We are lost
We can never go home
So in the end
I'll be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me
Now we say goodbye
We say you didn't try
These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!
And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost
You can never go home
You are lost
You can never go home

For some reason this tune popped into my head:
Bilbo! (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins! Bravest little hobbit of them all......
