I liked it when the Muppets took Manhattan, but it sounds like Elton John could help Animal Farm take Broadway. John's partner, David Furnish, was recently quoted that the couple is working on a children's musical, which many believe is the Animal Farm project (there has been talk about this for a while.) Based on George Orwell's novel, I'm interested how they will turn Animal Farm into a Broadway production while keeping the satire without too much camp. Sure, the kids might not get the underlying message to the story, but it would be a disservice to go too over the top and lose some of Orwell's brilliance. Of course, Sir Elton has done wonderful things on Broadway (Lion King, Aida, Billy Elliott), so I have no doubt Animal Farm will be well done.
