This is quite intriguing. I'm curious as to how they will create a enthralling stage adaptation. It's just such an odd story to adapt for stage, let alone a musical. Telekinetic powers and mass murder aren't exactly common topics for a musical. I really have a hard time seeing how they are going to make it into a musical. The tale lends it's self far better to film then screen. That aside, it should be interesting to read the reviews and see how the show does in LA. Who knows, it could be great and end up on broadway.
