From Spider-Man To American Idiot: Music Stars And Their Musicals

The idea to combine your favourite musicians with musicals may seem a good idea but with the news that the new U2-scored musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark is in trouble yet again, maybe they should stick to what they know best.

So as U2 hit trouble, Gigwise thought it would be the best time to look back at those musicians who have made the successful transition into musicals and those who haven’t.

From Elton John in a tutu to Michael Jackson and his white glove, here is our round up of musicals inspired by musicians.

You can check those out and much, much more in our gallery below. And don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comment form at the bottom of each page.
