Beverly, I knew they reminded me of something.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

More on the possible LOTR musical here.
"I am confident we can put on the whole of Middle-earth and tell the story of the entire trilogy," co-producer Kevin Wallace told the Sunday Telegraph.
In 3.5 hours? Doubtful.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Er, yeah. Not so much.
I did see a really nice one-person stage production of The Hobbit once, which you wouldn't think would work but did.

A local theater troop did all three books as non-musical plays over the course of a year or so. I wish I had seen them--they were highly reviewed by critics.

When I told my friends about the musical they thought it was a joke -- now I've sent them the article from the BBC website.

I am very disappointed -- my friends are filking LotR to various Broadway musicals -- I really thought that there were be some good filking action over here. (Of course, am I doing any of it?)

Sumi, you missed all the filking--it occurred back when the musical was first announced. IIRC, it happened when this board was crashed for an extended time, so it went on over at the Peoples Forum.
I have them all on a Word doc, so if you want me to cut and paste them here, I can!

In the meantime, my LotR-geek co-worker who went to the TORN party (and had rockin' seats in the third row!) forgot to take pics, but a friend of hers did. Good ones, too!
