      When you consider the success of the musicals We will rock you and Mama mia. How great would a musical based around the songs of Wings be. A musical about a world were people have had enough of Silly Love songs and a band on the run that have not had enough.

                If it told the real story of the band (notably Henry McCullough, Jimmy McCulloch, and Geoff Britton), that could be quite a roller coaster ride! But would they end it with New Year's 1980, or Japan?

                      Sorry, I was just having a little fun there. I'm sure they could do something like you're saying, maybe about a "soldier boy" who "kisses girl" and then they have some kind of romantic adventure.

                        that's a cracking idea

                            Would it be similar to Evita?

                              I saw Mama Mia and really enjoyed it immensely... there are so many songs that paint a story... this could be really great...

                                it will have to be way out in the sense of "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" to grab anyone attention these days

                                  I'm thinking most producers will exhaust most things Beatles-related before they tap into Wings.... and then, it will be predictably called "Band on the Run: The Musical", and I imagine it will be a re-telling of Jailhouse Rock... would be cool if it started at Paul's incarceration in Japan and then was told retrospectively. But that won't happen.

                                    And that was a dreadful film. Another poke in the eye to the Australian movie industry. It's companion piece "Muriel's Wedding" was quite decent, however. I found the aforementioned movie had no story line. All about costumes. No plot.

                                      It would be a story of Love and the battle to keep thst love alive. Just things of the songs that could be used My Love, With a little Lomg, Girlfriend, I've had enough, bluebird, Silly Love Songs the possibility of just using the hits is endless

                                        Yes I think that's a great idea nowords....a love story about Paul and Linda. Starting out on the tour bus and withe their family and band. There are so many stories connected to the different songs... It could be really well done... It would be lovely

                                          As long as it's not about the lead singer looking for a missing master tape.
