Canadian culture is just a pale imitation of American culture anyway. The musical will probably rip off 'Lion King' and maybe Cirque de Soleil (admittedly homegrown, though in the alien culture of Quebec).

Personally, my guess is that in the musical Sauron is going to be a rapper, called "Sa-Rhawn" of course, with his posse NWA, "NaZgul With Attitude". He will also do his rapping in Ebonics, the real "Black Speech" - none of this "Ash nazg durbatuluk" honky sh*t.

Mordor, the "Black Land", will be "nigh unto Compton".

And Sa-Rhawn's latest CD will be "It Takes a Nation of Millions (in Gondor) to Hold Us Back".

Or maybe not.

"I hope they plan on having sleeping accomodations - that would be a long one..."

I'd just like to see the cavalry charge from the long walls to Gondor. Hey, if you can do basketball on a football field, why not a play.

You'd have to make sure the actors can really project, though.

The Balrog scene should be pretty cool. Or hot, depending on which direction he breathes.

We should buy a special block of tickets and attend the premiere together ...
