#TheSoundOfGaga Producer Shares His Plans for Gaga: The Musical

[Neight Shayde 7,925]

Christopher Clegg is the british theatre producer behind #TheSoundOfGaga tribute

When did it hit you that this would be a great idea?

CC: When Lady Gaga performed at the 2015 Oscars I didn’t see the piece until two or three days later. I had seen that the Internet exploded, but it wasn’t until I got round to watching the video and I saw how much theatricality there was in it, and how that could tie in with selling our show, that my brain started to tick. The final push I needed to get on with it was when our producer, Bill Kenwright, said we should hop on it! His instinct on these things is always right!

Lady Gaga has seen #TheSoundOfGaga tribute. How did she come across it? Describe how it felt when you found out she’d seen it. How did you find out?

CC: Someone text me to say she’d tweeted! It was an odd feeling as I’ve been a fan of hers for years. She said the video was ‘amazing’ and thanked us from the bottom of her heart. Which, the more I think about, the more brilliant it is. To cut through the noise of all the tweets she must get from her 57 million followers and be seen is a big achievement in itself. I still can’t quite believe she’s sat and watched something I came up with.

Could a Lady Gaga jukebox musical be an option?

CC: Yes! More than an option. I already have the idea – it’s getting the rights that is the problem. If this video gets me in ‘the room where it happens’ to get those rights then I can give my pitch, which I think she’d like immensely. Gaga’s music is so theatrical and, as we proved in our video, is very transferable – so one day, hopefully soon, we’ll see that and I’ll be at the helm!

If I had any money at all I would want to invest in this show.  The tickets would sell like crazy if they do a good job with it.

Omg he should do a Kickstarter. I thought that a Gaga musical would be a great idea in the past.

Gaga wouldn't be a part of it I think

[Bad Bromance 5,809]

That would be amazing!!  If Gaga made a cameo every now and then would be even better!
