Watch out Andrew Lloyd Webber, Neil Young is taking the musical theater world by storm. Mr. Young's 2003 concept album Greendale will make its theatrical premiere at the The Undermain Theatre, in Dallas, Texas. The show runs from March 29th through May 3rd, 2008.

My friend, a HUGE Neil Young fan, saw him do this onstage and said it was embarassingly bad. I predict a quick closing. Then he can go out drinking with Paul Simon.
Ever hear of "Cape Man"? Paul Simon wrote the musical, based on the story of a Puerto Rican who was sent to prison. It closed after maybe half a dozen shows - a HUGE failure which probably cured Paul of Broadway forever.
After successfully garnering some attention stateside with thier devut album Inside In/Inside Out, Brighton indie rockers the Kooks will head to the state to preview their sophomore album Konk. Konk will be released April 15th, 2008 via Astralwerks, but the Kooks will undoubtly sample some of these tracks when they hit LA and New York in February.

Will the Kooks win over the US as they've won over their UK homeland? Inside In/Inside Out went platinum four times in the UK and peaked at Number Two. In the US the band only sold 100,000 copies of the debut and it only peaked at Number 164 on the Top 200.
The two intimate Kooks preview shows for Konk are scheduled for Thursday, February 7th, 2008 at Los Angeles' The Troubadour, and Tuesday February 12th, 2008 at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg.
