I'm not too concerned that the musical format will be too light for LotR (Les Mis and Miss Saigon both have pretty hefty, dramatic storylines, and tear-jerker endings which have worked extremely successfully.) However, I wonder how they will manage the effect of the different races. Will they get children to play hobbits? (please, no!) Or use some high-tech special effects/props à la The Lion King? And who could take a Balrog-Gandalf duet seriously?
