Perhaps the saddest thing about the failure of the musical is that Jackson's take will now be the only one which sticks in the public's mind (for those who haven't read the books). Those who don't know the books will think of LotR as just an 'action adventure' story The more different takes on the story the better - one reason why I take every advantage to play up the radio series. Jackson's LotR is not Tolkien's LotR, but too many people who don't know the books think it is. I wish this show had been more popular http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/346386

& btw I thought the facial make up on the Elves looked quite cool..
