Opens March 2006 in Toronto. It was originally supposed to open in London, but they couldn't find a theatre big enough. Apparently, it's the most expensive musical ever.

With budget like that-- I'd definitely see it.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Do the orcs have a chorus line?
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Hilarious but its not necessarily milking it for all its worth. Musicals of classics have been made for years and until the movies did well they wouldn't have known if they would get there many back from the show because it is a fantasy and a big budget is a huge risk. The movies did well so they proceeded.

You've got to be kidding. A musical? Why? WHY?
"Relax, turn around, and take my hand." Tool
"Heir Kommt Die Sonne." Rammestein
"Now the world is gone, I'm just one. Oh please God help me." Metallica
"Are You Ready?!?" KoRn
"All and all your just another brick in the wall." Pink Floyd.
The downfall of society will be society itself.
Rap is the malignant tumor of the music industry.

I wonder if when that starts if it'll ever get close to where I live, 'cause I GOTTA SEE THIS! that seems impossible. I hope that they have an intermission in the middle...

I can imagine it now.....Frodo singing at center stage with a bunch of hobbit extras dancing about in the background.
"It's the One Ring to rule them all! But we're gonna make it in the end! Gonna take this show to Mordor, yeah! I'm gonna take my chance and be a staaarr!"
Then there's a huge hobbit dance number headed up by Samwise and Rose Cotton.
Following this, it cuts to Gollum's hit solo "Yes, My Precious".
