NME reports today that former State/Reno 911 players Ben Garrant and Thomas Lennon are at work on a musical about Morrissey and featuring his songs.

Lennon told New York Metro: “I have an outline in my head, like ‘Mamma Mia’- type musical but with them (sic) music of Morrissey called ‘I’ve Changed My Plea To Guilty’. It’s for a very diehard set of fans.”

It is not clear when the musical will open.

I was wondering when the Moz would get the "Movin Out" treatment. I guess Lt Dangle does often sport a Morrisey concert T under his leather jacket and high cut-off shorts (his civilian wear)...

Ugh. If Garrant & Lennon are the guys behind "Porcupine Racetrack" and "Froggy Jamboree" then I'm not looking forward to this.

Are you kidding me? Porcupine Racetrack ruled!

C'mon. "God, if you're above/and it's orphans that you love," might be the best lyrical couplet ever.

There was a Smiths musical that toured the UK two years ago called Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others.

Morrissey deleted me from myspace, as with about thousand fans.

Rot in hell(LA) with Perez Hilton Morrisey!
