With Rush no longer a working band, Geddy Lee says he’d love to see some of their songs adapted for a theatrical musical.
He told uDiscover Music, “I’ve always thought that Rush’s music really lent itself to theatrical reproduction. Especially the concept albums such as 2112 or, more recently, Clockwork Angels, I think, would be fantastic opportunities to orchestrate the music a little bit more, get into a whole different kind of presentation. But visually, they’re quite striking. The stories have a lot of potential in terms of staging and imaginative scenery. I think they really are tailor-made for that. So I’d love to see that happen sometime.”
Until that actually happens, you can find Rush in graphic novels. A comic based on their fifth album, 1977’s A Farewell to Kings, will be published in September.
