Rap and music enthusiasts will soon get a chance to see the lives of Run DMC as a musical. Producer Paula Wagner, who has worked with Tom Cruise in the past on ‘Mission: Impossible’ and other movies, has signed up to turn the hip hop group’s story into a new and original musical. She said “I feel their story lends itself perfectly to the stage. This project has been a passion of mine for some time and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with them.” The production will also include the life of Jam Master Jay who was killed back in 2002.

Critics said that musical TV would never work. Obviously, they’ve never heard of ‘Glee’. With less than 10 episodes under their belt, the show is proving to be one of the biggest shows of the year, with not only great weekly ratings but also fantastic showings on the iTunes Top 200 Download lists. The show currently has 10 songs holding strong, including their versions of Queen’s ‘Somebody to Love’, Heart’s ‘Alone’, Kanye West’s ‘Gold Digger’, Rihanna’s ‘Take a Bow’ and Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin’. In total, the musical catalog for the show has surpassed the 1 million download mark and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.

The legendary music festival of the 60s, Woodstock, has been immortalized on film, a book and now – a musical! One of the organizers of the festival, Michael Lang, is producing a Broadway musical about the 1969 landmark music fest with the score to be taken from the tunes of the era and book based off tome, ‘The Road to Woodstock’. The production team is hoping to have a workshop up and running within the next year and hit the Great White Way during the 2010-2011 season. That’s a pretty ambitious thing to aim for considering it’s pretty hard to come by some good funding these days.

The music of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins is headed to the stage with the upcoming ‘Million Dollar Quartet’, scheduled to run this coming spring. The musical has been doing very well since it opened last October in Chicago. The producers are expecting the same success once it hits Broadway. The show is based on the 1956 jam session between the four iconic musicians brought together by record producer Sam Phillips of Sun Records in Memphis. The score includes ‘Blue Suede Shoes’, ‘Great Balls of Fire’, and ‘I Walk the Line’, among other popular songs of the time period.

Here’s a chance for a couple of big divas to clash. In order to kick start her musical comeback, Whitney Houston will be sitting down for an exclusive interview for the September 14th season premiere of the Oprah Winfrey show. The talk show host’s couch has always been known to induce some tears from a guest. I wonder if she’ll be asking the questions that will make the returning singer break down. I wonder if Oprah will be allowed to ask the questions about drugs. And with that interview, you can be sure that Whitney will be performing too. Are you ready to watch Oprah incorrectly lip synch to the performance?
