They are not the sort of band that you thought "wow, here are two guys with such a powerful grasp of melody and lyrics they should do a musical."

I can't see it being anymore than just a play about a band with the preformance parts just being new songs kinda like Brothers of the Head (which I wouldn't even class as a musical)

I agree that it's a bad idea, but they were never a good band. They had a couple of okay songs which they wrote very much with the help of their label, and were the epitome of style over content. I can only hope this will persuade their fans to try some proper music please, but I doubt it will.
