Lord of the Rings on stage!

My brother Colin knows the director Mark Warchus and has seen some of the early rehearsals for this quite ambitious adaptation of everyone's favorite Hobbit trilogy. It premieres this February in Toronto. From the Playbill article and my brother's descriptions, it sounds really really cool! Though there is music, it's not a musical. The set sounds even more elaborate than The Lion King. The adaptation is deliberately different than Peter Jackson's and has the blessing of the Tolkien estate.
