A musical production based on Jeff Buckley is set to open this autumn at The Old Globe in San Diego.
The Last Goodbye - named after one of Buckley's most popular songs – has been conceived and adapted by Michael Kimmel and retells the story of Romeo And Juliet using songs by the late singer.
Billboard reports that the musical will likely end up on Broadway in New York, given the high profile producers attached to the project - Hal Luftig ['Kinky Boots'] and Ruth and Steve Hendel ['Fela!'].
In British pop history the feature film often marks the fatal moment of imperial overreach of a particular scene or band. From Magical Mystery Tour to The Great Rock And Roll Swindle or Absolute Beginners, be they grand follies, works of cynical exploitation or pretentious fiascos, they almost always mark the end of something.
