Ramones: The Musical

No, really...

The Ramones are set to be the unlikely subject of a musical.

'Gabba Gabba Hey' takes place at London's KOKO from July 31 and will run until August 5.

It is set to feature the last surviving original Ramone Tommy Ramone performing along with special guests including Angie Bowie, Hugh Cornwell and Tony James.

The house band will feature former Clash guitarist Nick Sheppard.

According to the official website the "world's first punk musical" contains 18 Ramones classics strung together through a "post modern fairy tale about the redeeming power of love".

Im not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing..

"punk musical"... isn't that like an oxymoron?

i want to think it'll turn out to be a good thing.

I honestly don't know what to think. But I reckon it could be a hit. Not with the old 70's punk rockers though.. e.g my dad.
