Thomas Lennon (AKA Lt. Dangle) planning Morrissey musical, "I've Changed My Plea to Guilty"

Ping-Pong wizard - Metro NY
Thomas Lennon goes from Dangle to ‘Balls’ to mainstream movies and back to absurd again

Excerpt:

...“Ben and I both write compulsively,” he says. In the works, the two have “Night at the Museum 2” and one other project, which may be more challenging to keep within the mainstream.

“I have an outline in my head, like a ‘Mama Mia’-type musical, but with the music of Morrissey, called ‘I’ve Changed My Plea to Guilty,’” he says, completely seriously. “It’s for a very diehard set of fans.”

I would love to see the other cast members of Reno! to star in this. Theyre a talented bunch.

...or like the Twyla Tharp opus based on the music of Bob Dylan, which lasted for only a handful of performances.

Hey, the tplennon who submitted this story wouldn't happen to be Tom Lennon himself ; )?

I thought the indie 103.1 interview with Lt. Dangle was really funny!

I saw Tom Lennon at the vip afterparty after Mozzer's show at the Hollywood Bowl. But I didn't recognise him because he wasn't sporting a 'stache and cop outfit with short-shorts. Someone pointed him out to me later.

whats the problem? (Score:0)

I think this is an amazing idea. I knew Lennon was a sincere fan (he wears Moz shirts as Dangle sometimes but insists it's out of sincerity) and I think I would love to see a Moz themed musical! Sure, the potential to muck it up is always there, but a bad Moz musical is surely better than most, eh?

...Yahoo! is reporting this on its home page, with a link to a very fact non-intensive story at Yahoo! Music.

a Morrissey Musical! What could be better? Two of my favorite things. The only thing better would be if Morrissey were to do a musical.
