A 'We Will Rock You'-style musical based on Morrissey's songs is currently in the works.
The idea has been conceived by Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant, who both starred in ’Reno 911!’ and wrote the movies ’Night at the Museum’ and ’Balls Of Fury’.
Lennon told New York Metro: “I have an outline in my head, like ’Mamma Mia’- type musical but with them music of Morrissey called ’I’ve Changed My Plea To Guilty’. It’s for a very diehard set of fans.”
It is not clear when the musical will open.
