[i]"A musical version of the hit movie "Ghost" will steam up a stage in London next year.
Many of the same people who created the 1990 movie with Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg, will work on the play.
Variety said that Dave Stewart of Eurythmics and Glen Ballard, the songwriter-producer who did Alanis Morissette's album "Jagged Little Pill," will write the music and lyrics.
Bruce Joel Rubin, who won an Oscar for writing the movie's screenplay, will write the book for the musical.
Casting has yet to be announced.
The film earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Goldberg."[/i]
i hate musicals.. so im not amused that they are going to take another movie and make it into one.. but for those that actually like musicals do you think this will actually fly?

yeah it is horrible.. i think a lot of remakes and musicals are the product of the economy.. they figure the huge success of it in the past will reoccur and it will be a sure win..

Interesting that Dave Stewart is involved in writing it, and the story does lend itself to being a musical because of the sad theme. I too am not a great fan of musicals though, and was never really that big a fan of the film Ghost too if I'm honest so I certainly won't be going to see it.
