If dissonant PJ Harvey scores can't save Broadway, maybe a fake Michael Jackson turning into a werewolf can? The New York Times reports that production company the Nederlander Organization has acquired the rights to turn Michael Jackson's 1982 album Thriller and its title track's iconic video into a Broadway musical. There's no creative team announced yet, but the show will feature songs from both Thriller and 1979's Off the Wall albums. And, yes, Jackson himself will be involved.As everyone who's watched one of those VH1 greatest-videos-ever countdowns knows, the "Thriller" video is some top-shelf cheese. And the songs from Thriller and Off the Wall are definitely grand and ridiculous and great enough to work on a Broadway stage. But there's no way in hell the Nederlander Organization is going to improve on this .In any case, it'll be interesting to see how these folks shoehorn all these songs into a halfway coherent narrative, especially a narrative that climaxes in a zombie group-dance. I am hoping for "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough (Brains)".
