Dylan on Broadway -should FM follow?

[gypsysoul]

'Prolific singer-songwriter Bob Dylan has become the latest musical icon to have his repertoire adapted for the stage. The Times They Are A-Changin', directed by famed choreographer Twyla Tharp, who most recently had audiences rockin' out to Billy Joel hits in the Tony winner Movin' Out, opens Oct. 26 on the Great White Way. Previews begin Sept. 25 at the Brooks Atkinson Theater. '


Do people think this is a route FLEETWOOD MAC should go down, especially since they already have the 'in built soap opera' element?
Or would it be the worst idea ever?

If anyone thinks it should happen, how would you like to see it done?

You know what would be awesome?

Fleetwood Macbeth.

[gypsysoul]

Fleetwood Macbeth? Hmmm. I like it.

But I can also see Lindsey going insane as Hamlet (while seeing the ghost of Mick) and driving Ophelia(Stevie) to madness too, as he tries to decide whether to make music for the masses or remain true to his artistic integrity.
John as Yorrick?
Christine as the attractive mother Hamlet has the hots for?

I think the idea is a cool one in theory, but somehow I think it would suck in reality.

We've had quite a couple of those in the West End recently:

Mama Mia (Abba)
We will rock You (Queen)

There was also a Rod Stewart musical which I think is called Tonight's the Night (but I may be wrong)

There was talk a couple of years ago of a Fleetwood Mac musical called guess what? Rumours

I'm not sure the band would have any choice if someone decided to do it.

I agree 100%
I wouldn't like to see a Broadway play based on mac songs. Because the idea it's too used

I think Mamma Mia is the only good one, since it's one of the first, if not the first show based on a pop band songs.

Then came Rod Stewart, Billy Joel, Queen Bee Gees, etc, etc.. too much. Some of them didn't last enough. So maybe the show couldn't be successful, and I wouldn't stand it!!


But I would LOVE to see a movie or serie based on the band story. I'm still waiting

What about "Who's Afraid of Virginia Mac?" ?
I think that would be most best. Arguments, drunkennes, throwing things, psychological warfare... oh, oh Yes!!!
