Well, not to grind a formula into the ground, Pink Floyd now has the dubious honor of following the likes of Billy Joel in adapting a musical. The Wall definitely has got a theatrical element to it, especially with how the concept got presented in concert, but I guess it will be interesting to see how this gets translated into a stage production.

That should be very interesting. The Who was able to pull it off with Tommy, so who (no pun intended :D ) knows? This could be a big hit. I'm glad to see Waters' involvement. Maybe the musical will stay true to the music. But this quote, "Now I can write in some laughs, notable by their absence in the movie" , worries me. :(
