Johnny Cash musical to open on Broadway

A Johnny Cash musical is reportedly set to open on Broadway in late 2006, likely telling his life story in the style of the Buddy Holly musical.

Is no one protected from the indignity of having their careers squeezed into ninety minutes of West End fluff? Seems not. Word is Johnny Cash The Musical will open on Broadway in late 2006. That said, unlike 'Mama Mia' and 'We Will Rock You' the musical is likely to tell the late great singer's life story, more akin to the Buddy Holly musical, which at least means Ben Elton won't be getting his flimsy story book out.
