Stage oddity

Is David Bowie really writing the music for a Bruce Lee stage show?

Mar 22 2006

Hot on the heels of the Weinsteins announcing their 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' stage show (reported here) comes news of another Asian-themed Broadway project.

Elephant Eye Theatricals are planning a musical based on the life of martial arts movie star Bruce Lee.

And rumours are currently circulating that the 'thin white duke' himself, David Bowie, will provide the music.

Variety reports that the show's director Matthew Warchus was recently seen talking with Bowie in Toronto, and while producer Stuart Oken refused to comment on the singer's involvement, stranger things have happened (Bowie's appearance in 'Labyrinth' for example).

News on this one as and when it breaks.
