Daily Variety reports Kevin Wallace, one of the producers of the big-budget Lord of the Rings musical that opened at Toronto’s Princess of Wales Theatre March 23, confirmed the show will open in London in 2007. The reviews of Lord of the Rings, which began previews on Feb. 4, have been lukewarm thus far. However, Wallace pointed out to DV, “Our market research during previews indicated the show is scoring strongly with the ordinary man in the street.” When asked about the reviews, Wallace replied, “I knew this would always be a show that would divide people. They’d either love it or reject it and no one would offer a middle-of-the-road response.” [More]
