Rocky becomes a musical

Tuesday, 22 November 2011 09:12

Rocky becomes a musical We're not talking about the Rock Horror Show. We're talking about the boxing movie. And unlike stage shows becoming movies, this one is in reverse with a movie becoming a stage production!

Sylvester Stallone, Rocky himself, has banded together with boxing champions Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko to produce a musical version of the iconic bozing movie franchise.

"I've always thought Rocky had the right stuff for a musical and have wanted to do it for a long time," said Stallone to a local paper in the US where the production will initially be staged.

Instead of being all about the boxing though, this musical is all about the love story between Rocky Balboa and his belle Adrienne (played in the movies by Talia Shire)
