stukatrooper Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 The six Star Wars films are to be turned into a musical, which will premiere at London's O2 Arena in April. Star Wars: A Musical Journey, which has been put together by George Lucas's company Lucasfilm and composer John Williams, who has "painstakingly rewritten" the music he wrote for the movies, will feature live narrators and a score by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra while excerpts from the films are shown on a screen. David Campbell, chief executive of AEG Europe, which runs the O2, told the BBC website: "Star Wars holds memories for practically everyone. John Williams is the composer of our times, and fans will be thrilled to know that both he and Lucasfilm have contributed fully to this new production. "To have the premiere at the 02 is a real coup for us, and I know there will be a lot of very happy Star Wars fans out there when they hear the news." The show opens on 10 April. Tickets, priced from £30 to £100, will go on sale next Monday. Now that sounds like a troop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-7060 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I'm getting a Carrie Fisher in Holiday Special flashback. Might be a fun troop though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapstertee Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Sounds absolutely hideous as an idea. WORSE than the Holiday Special. But I'd still troop it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThayNerd[TK] Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 That would be a fun troop to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
