London awaits ‘Rings’ on stage
From the Associated Press
Middle-earth is coming to England.
Producers announced Thursday that the lavish stage version of “The Lord of the Rings” will open in London next year -- trimmed, tightened and reworked since its Toronto premiere in March.
The show, which had its world premiere at Toronto’s Princess of Wales Theatre in March, opens June 19, 2007, at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Producer Kevin Wallace said the $23-million show, which has a cast of 50, would be the most expensive ever staged in London.
