Fun on a Friday: It was only a matter of time . . .
. . . until someone made a musical out of Game of Thrones.
Luckily that someone was Coldplay.
I had a super heady blog to write for today, but man, it seems like everyone is still a little high-strung about the Tonys, so I figured we could all use some fun on this Friday, which you’ll get if you watch the video below. (Actually it’s not just the aftermath of the Tonys that has everyone’s head spinning – believe it or not, next season is WELL underway: On Your Feet is in previews in Chicago, and Hamilton is just weeks away from their first performance. No rest for the wicked. Actually, Wicked gets to rest because they did $1.7mm last week in their 11th year!)
So take a moment on this gorgeous Summer Friday and watch Coldplay’s foray into musical theater writing.
And then you can start to wonder how many Producers called Coldplay after they saw this, trying to get them to write a real musical.
Happy Friday everyone!
