    I remember Glenn saying that he expected to have the musical on by 2015. He said they'd have the DVD out hopefully by Christmas of this year, tour again in the new year and then have the stage show as the next project but it'd take time and he used a two-year timetable.

    I'll try and find the interview where he made these statements.

    Yeah, I know. I was just saying that Mamma Mia was made into a movie so perhaps someday HC would be too, and that's when I would see it.

    So, they have what they call in Broadway vernacular The Book. There's still a lot of work to do, and they're about a year and a half away from finishing it.

    I have to say, a broadway musical does NOT excite me in the least. I hope this doesn't affect the DVD - which DOES excite me.

    All of our concerns about the Eagles DVD not happening may have been for not....This article about Joe was published yesterday.. from what he says here it looks like the Eagles documentary is still a go and almost done!

    I am in complete agreement. Other bands and albums lend themselves better to a musical than HC in my opinion.

And I'm probably just over thinking it all but with so many dates in Las Vegas and this musical thing, they just seem to be going in such totally different directions any more from what the rock n roll Eagles "should" be doing. Does that make sense to anyone else here? I guess, bottom line, I don't want them to become some "lounge act".
    You said it best Willie. I completely agree here!

    I didn't care for the movie Mama Mia either and can't imagine what HC would be like at all. Even on Broadway. Just weird to me.

    Now the dvd is something I would love! Let's have that guys!

    Glenn states in this Australian interview that I just received in a google alert that the DVD is done. He doesn't mention the musical. (I'll also post it in the After Hours thread.

    As posted by Fastlane a radio show had a summary of an interview with Don (starts at 6:30).

    The gist was that Glenn is "spearheading" the exploration of a stage musical while Don and Joe tour. The success of the documentary was a wake-up call: "How else can we exploit this catalogue?"

    No surprises, and a bit disappointing that Glenn seems to be in "executive" mode rather than working on new material.

    I believe most of us would like them to exploit their catalogue by issuing more old concert footage. Or maybe a version of the HFO MTV concert with all the songs that didn't make the final cut. Even just nice, clean releases of the BBC and Kirshner concerts.

    I've no interest at all in a stage musical. As far as I know, it's a painfully slow development process, even without adding an Eagles metabolism to it.

    Starting with a writer approaching the band with a storyboard idea. if that's excepted they'll spend a few years kneading it into an entertaining script then they go through a process of recruitment and staging then a period of pre-production. The end product will be stage school types singing the Eagles back catalogue with show time accompaniment.

    The Eagles would have little involvement beyond providing the inspiration, unless, for any one who has seen the 2013, Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson film, Saving Mr. Banks, about the Making of Mary Poppins, Glenn is doing a P.L. Travers and steering the process in the right direction.

    If the Eagles musical is as good as Mary Poppins, it'll be worth a look although the Eagles song book doesn't contain a bunch of cheery, up-tempo, life affirming, show tunes.

    I hope that, after spending some time in the stage musical environment, Glenn will be desperate to get back to making music with the career musicians he's worked with all his life.
