Eagles musical: "Hotel California"

I would prefer that they didn't do this. But who am I to criticise.

Glenn mentioned this in an interview he did a few months ago. We talked about it a bit here: https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/...t=1145&page=21

Like I said there, if it's done well, I'm down with it - even though hearing the songs sung by Broadway singers instead of the Eagles will be jarring and, naturally, not as satisfying.

I hope it's quasi-autobiographical like Jersey Boys instead of just the songs arranged to fit a fictional story like Mamma Mia.

One thing we can count on (I'm pretty sure, anyway), is that the guys maintained enough control over it that if it's not what they want and how they want it, they'll pull the plug on it.

Not sure how I feel about this... Broadway is NOT my cup of tea. I don't know if I'd go to it but hey - I love the name.

I merged our recent convos about this into a single thread to make it easier to follow, if you're wondering why this thread suddenly doubled in size!

Thanks for setting up the thread, Soda.

Not sure how I feel about this either. If it's "quasi-autobiographical" it will probably attract a fair amount of nasty reviews no matter how well done it is.

I can't even imagine them wanting to do this, given all the stuff I read about them not liking NY, & especially the critics.
I'm not so sure I'm in love with this idea, but I would probably see it. It could be interesting.

It's almost like they've all come to the realization that time is getting short and they want to 'do it all'. IMHO they should not venture into this musical thing, or at least they should not be too closely associated with it. Take for example The Beatles Love by Cirque du Soleil. This is a show that The Beatles obviously had to give their blessing to, but is not something they themselves were involved with (to my knowledge). That seems better to me for some reason.

Sorry, still not feeling the love for this idea...Eagles or not! I just don't think I can handle Eagles songs being sung Broadway style. But then, I'm not a musical fan at all. Still scary!!!

I think it could be done well, & I think there are some great young singers that could do the songs justice, but the more I think about it, the more I think this is some idea that Irv Azoff has come up with or is pushing for...
