Well, I haven't had sleep for the past 4 days(the life of a high school senior applying to top ranking colleges this month, how lovely)so maybe I am just completely mad for being hit by this seemingly insane idea.

 

 

They made Across The Universe. There was "We Will Rock You" in Vegas based on Queen songs. So come on, why not? Viva has that epic, musical quality. Admit it, this album was their most dramatic, theatrical, and "in your face". Also, many of the songs have a story like quality to it. Like Strawberry Swing, Cemeteries of London, Viva La Vida, Lost! could be the hero's big ballad with a huge chorus singing in the background!...heck...all of them...

 

The story should be based around lovers falling in love around the French Revolution fighting for liberty and equality, I think. Like Dickens' Tale of Two Cities.

 

I mused with this idea at around 3 AM while studying for a Poli Sci class, so forgive me if it sounds nonsensical.

 

 

But you have to admit..like it or not..it's an interesting idea!

 

5 years down the road...i would like to see VLV the musical.. and I better get like 5%!

 

ps Prospekt march songs can be included too..

Hahahahahahaha! :lol:

 

Are you serious? :thinking:

LOL YES I AM!!!!

Maybe I should get some sleep....lmao

15-20 years down the road, when everything becomes auto tuned, then yeah that'd be great.

 

but the boys aren't that full of themselves to make a musical.

 

great idea though

yeah maybe not immediately...15 years seems long enough for me to pen this thing! :laugh3:

 

But it would be so epic! lol

 

I'm having trouble fitting in lovers in japan...cause it has to take place in paris. otherwise, i have the songs all fitting different situations. i even have lit2, but i have to change the title cause technicolor didnt exist in the 1700s. But the lyrics fit..its about violence! whats bloodier than French rev?

A Quentin Tarantino movie.

lol oh yeahhh.

 

Nah, I want it to be on stage, not filmed. At least on stage first. Then adapted to film. Tarantino can take it from there, i guess.

I would only say it was a good idea just for the fact that I would love to see how it turned out. :P

 

But, probably not a good idea....

Wait til you are in college, those sleepless nights are wonderful.

Like, real "No sleep".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And no.

The Beatles >>>> Coldplay

 

Queen >>>>Coldplay

 

even if I really love coldplay I don't think it's a good idea :P

Oh no.

Pfft... I love a good musical. I'd see it.

A good idea..but not now.

Greenday made a musical on their 'Bullet In A Bible' album. :escaping:

Hm... I'm a huge musical fan... But I don't know. I think I'll agree with a few people about the 'wait a few years'. But Viva la Vida IS an epic album... The question is how it would transpire onto stage... Hmm... :thinking:

So please not!!!! I hate musicals!!!!

It Couldn't Happen Here?

 

It sounds a good idea but does anyone here recall the Pet Shop Boys' 1987 film It Couldn't Happen Here?

 

It was released in 1987 and made by Derek Jarman. It attempted to tie together all their songs from this period. It was also supposed to be a scathing attack on the Catholic Church.

 

It was very arty but commercially a huge disaster. Coldplay does the former, but not the later! :)

I'd go see it.... I am still waiting for Chris to lend his voice to a animated comedy (Simpson's is a start):D
