Run DMC: A Broadway Musical???
Yup that’s right the Hip Hop Legends Run DMC are currently in talks to turn there life’s story into a Broadway Musical.
The two surviving members of the pioneering hip-hop group – Reverend Run and DMC – have met with a Hollywood producer to discuss turning the story of their career into a musical.
The project is to being headed up by Paula Wagner – who produced Hollywood films ‘Mission: Impossible’ and ‘Valkyrie’.
She said: “Run-DMC’s lyrics and music are infectious. It’s vibrant, it’s alive.
“Who they are and what they did was a culturally defining moment. It embraced everybody.
“Their rise to fame is innately theatrical. It speaks to everybody.”
Paula is meeting with Reverend Run, real name Joseph Simmons, Darryl McDaniels, real name DMC and representatives of the estate of the group’s third member, DJ Jam-Master Jay, real name Jason Mizell. Jay was murdered in 2002 on the verge of a Run-DMC reunion.
If they can pull this off, it will definitely be a must see.
