The Decemberists Ponder Doing Musical (Top Story)
. "It happens that the director Michael Mayer, who directed Green Day's American Idiot musical on Broadway, is the guy that got me going about doing a musical," Meloy said. "We're still talking and there's potential for a musical down the line, for sure." Because of The Decemberists' knack for concept albums and folk-tale songs, a musical isn't a crazy notion for the band. "People are constantly asking me to write musicals � it's the cross that I bear," Meloy joked. "I grew up doing theater, so in theory, I would love to write a musical. I don't know if I have the stuff � I always end up just writing little pop songs that stand a better chance on a record than on stage." - more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock.
