Michael on Wham! Musical
Published March 26, 2004
Is there no stopping those cheeky West End theatre producers? Rumours are circulating that following the success of Mama Mia, We Will Rock You and Tonight's The Night, producers are considering compilation musicals based on
the music of Wham! and, get this, Bros!
Admitting he had been approached about a Wham! musical, George Michael told
Heart 106.2 this week: "Two or three different producers have approached
Andrew and I about this and I'm a bit torn. I absolutely hate the idea on a
creative level. But on another level I know that a certain generation of people would love it."
"But those songs are borderline in terms of presentation, and the only reason we got away with the pastiche of them is because they were done with so much conviction and big hair and big teeth, and genuine fun and passion. But the truth is that done on stage there will be no charm and you'll be left with a lot of cheese, so I'm torn. Am I being too much of a snob? I would literally have to avoid the premiere."
