Yoshimi on Broadway

Aaron Sorkin is writing a Broadway musical adaptation of the Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots:

Described [Flaming Lips lead singer Wayne Coyne], "There's the real world and then there's this fantastical world. This girl, the Yoshimi character, is dying of something. And these two guys are battling to come visit her in the hospital. And as one of the boyfriends envisions trying to save the girl, he enters this other dimension where Yoshimi is this Japanese warrior and the pink robots are an incarnation of her disease. It's almost like the disease has to win in order for her soul to survive. Or something like that."

With a new Sorkin project on the horizon, no doubt Josh Malina is clearing his schedule even as we speak.
