Musical Wanda
October 25th, 2009
From a John Cleese interview at The Onion's A.V. Club, intriguing news about a musical adaptation of A Fish Called Wanda:
AVC: Can you say any more about the musical?
JC: Yes, well, they suggested a musical of Wanda to me some time ago, and I was completely unenthusiastic, and then ever so slowly, the idea grew on me. Because it's a chance to work with Camilla, and we enjoy each other a great deal. She's very funny. She's also very, very rude, but very, very funny with it. God, she's rude. [Laughs.] Mainly about my age. So we have a lot of fun working together, and she's very original and creative, so that's fun. And I brought in this guy, Bill Bailey – I don't think he's very well-known in America, is he yet?
Is it just me, or is the idea of getting Bill Bailey in to work on the musical a masterstroke?
