J.R.R. Tolkien News

The Lord of the Rings, the first major stage adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic trilogy, which received its British and European Premiere when it opened at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London earlier this summer, celebrates its 100th performance today, Monday, August 13, and its booking period has been extended to September 27, 2008.

During the last twenty years or so the 'epic' musical has become a major element in mainstream musical theatre. Now the stage of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane witnesses what could almost be described as the epic to dwarf all epics. Following in the wake of the award winning box office smash film adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's novels that have engrossed generations of readers, Matthew Warchus's staging of 'The Lord Of The Rings - the musical' seems set to pack in the crowds.
