Lord of the Rings: The Musical?

Did you think that the movies were a little gay? Well you haven't seen anything yet! It's Lord of the Rings: The Musical! No, I'm not kidding. I can't wait to hear Sam's heartbreaking ballad "Don't Go Where I Can't Follow". Although if the elves actually sing some of the original songs in elvish, that would admittedly be pretty cool.

My real problem is that I really can't see how they will condense down 1000 pages of epic fantasy into a ~3 hour stage production without leaving everything on the cutting room floor or satirizing itself.
