The Man In Black on Broadway
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver September 28th, 2004
Sick of ABBA, Queen and Rod Stewart hogging the musical(s) limelight? Then book your tickets for The Man In Black's Broadway debut NOW*.

No, I'm not making this up (if only I was): Johnny Cash, the musical, is due to open in 2006. According to those in the know, the show won't mimic the dreadful 'We Will Rock You', where the music of Queen is used as a soundtrack to some flimsy story about, um, I dunno what, actually. Instead, it'll concentrate on telling the late singer's story with a fair degree of accuracy.

It's hardly going to make for a jovial evening's entertainment, is it?

* You can't really, not yet. Sorry.
