Morrissey The Musical is on the way
Broadway show featuring The Smiths man's songs planned
A 'We Will Rock You'-style musical based on Morrissey's songs is currently in the works.
The idea has been conceived by Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant, who both starred in 'Reno 911!' and wrote the movies 'Night at the Museum' and 'Balls Of Fury'.
Lennon told New York Metro: "I have an outline in my head, like 'Mamma Mia'- type musical but with them music of Morrissey called 'I've Changed My Plea To Guilty'. It's for a very diehard set of fans."
It is not clear when the musical will open.
"The National Front Disco" on the Great White Way After the Bob Dylan musical and Billy Joel's musical, I guess this was inevitable? Will this finally lure Roadbike Mankie to the Broadway stalls?
I'm not sure whether they'll use just Morrissey songs or Morrissey AND Smiths songs. If it's the latter, then I'm hoping for a performance of "I Keep Mine Hidden" in some bathhouse setting. Like "Oh, Calcutta!" vs. "Spring Awakening."

P.S. Will audience members suddenly rush up on stage and hug the performers?
