I like Sting well enough to be interested in this show. But the article is a little ambiguous about which came first, the album or the story. Is this another jukebox musical? I'm not against jukebox musicals, I think they can be fun. (I'm waiting for the Michael Jackson jukebox musical) But I am concerned about the trend I'm noticing on Broadway where we turn movies, children's books, and album libraries from already successful artists into musicals. Are we afraid to take risks with new ideas?
