LucasFilm Says "Star Wars: A Musical Journey" Bound For U.S.

Rolling Stone: "After launching at London's O2 arena in April, a live stage treatment of the Star Wars series, Star Wars: A Musical Journey, will make its way to the U.S. But organizers say they're steering clear of a straight forward musical theater treatment or 'R2-D2 rolling across the stage,' and are instead preparing a recontextualization of the iconic film franchise featuring an enormous LED screen, classic films scenes and, of course, John Williams' landmark score."

This show will have an enormous fanbase. This will definitely people into theatre who wouldn't normally attend. Based on the articled, the plans for the US designs seem to be pretty amazing, and I hope they don't disappoint.

Good gracious. I understand that this show will get a huge audience turn out, but REALLY? I really wish that the industry would come out with a new show, instead of musical journeys and adaptations of old shows/movies/books/etc...
