Return to the Forbidden Planet – The Musical

There’s a rock musical production called Return to the Forbidden Planet created by Bob Carlton. Like Forbidden Planet, RttFP is both a retelling of The Tempest and an adventure set in space. But RttFP tells its version of Shakespeare’s story using rock-and-roll classics from the 1950’s through the 1970’s. Most reviews are glowing so I’m sure to try and see it if it ever comes near to San Francisco or if I’m in London again.
