The Flaming Lips Are Going To Broadway!

Turning 'Yoshimi...' into a musical...

Share

The Flaming Lips are to take their seminal album ‘Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots’ to Broadway in the form of a new musical.

The band have teamed up wit West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin and Tony award winning director Des McAnuff for the project.

Talking about the endeavour Wayne Coyne told ew.com: When Des heard the record, he heard a lot about death and loss and the triumph of your own optimism... he had an emotional attachment to it.

"I tell people all the time, it's not really a story. It's more like a mood. There's a Japanese girl; she fights some robots; that's five minutes. After that I don't know."

The date the show will hit New York’s famous theatre land is yet to be announced.
