Abba and Billy Joel have had their music turned into musicals and now finally The Monkees are getting one according to Broadway World.
According to press notes the story tells the journey of four musicians who “unwittingly become stand-ins for the most famous group in the world. It is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for those who remember the TV seriesâ€Â. It includes hits such as “I’m a Believerâ€Â, “Steppin’ Stoneâ€Â, “Hey, Hey We’re The Monkeesâ€Â, “Last Train to Clarksvilleâ€Â, and of course, “Daydream Believer”.
Daydream Believer will open a year from now at the Theatre Royal Plymouth. I know it is a whiles away, but I hope it is good enough to make it to Broadway because I have always loved their music. Maybe John Mayer could play Michael Nesmith’s role, he kind of reminds me of him!
