Ghost Brothers of Darkland County

[Rareboy]

So what do you get when you put T-Bone Burnett, John Mellencamp and Stephen King together on a project?

A musical ghost story....


We saw it last evening at Massey Hall.....Mellencamp.s music is stronger than King's libretto and I'm sure it would have been great to see the original cast...but if it turns up in your neck of the woods while on tour...it is worth spending an evening squirming in theatre seats and putting up with the two drunk chicks beside you who think they're watching this in their living room.

Oh...and the Devil played very gay by Jake La Botz was the best character.

Wow...it sounds interesting and creative...I will definitely watch it when I get a chance. This is the first I hear of it. I assume it is in theatres...I would rather see it on the big screen I think.

It was intriguing and I also sat there thinking what it would be like as a movie.....but the musical numbers actually seem to demand that it be staged like an opera or musical.

There are two or three numbers that really rock and some that are like filler.

The kid in the production who played Joe was pretty amazing......
