No s**t.... Howard Shore is working on it.

Howard Shore Opera (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050302/ap_en_mu/celeb_q_a_howard_shore_2)

...also interesting to think that 30 years ago, Howard Shore was the musical director on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.

You've come a long way, baby.... :-)

Personally, I'd rather see "Naked Lunch: The Opera." :P

(Actually, now that I think about it, this almost happened-- Years before Cronenberg's version, Frank Zappa approached Burroughs about turning Naked Lunch into an off-broadway musical. One can only imagine...)

I can think of two things that are wrong with that title  :)

Why not a musical version of "Scanners"?

A Zappa musical of "Naked Lunch"? I'm imagining titles like "Agent Lee Gets the Bug Powder Blues", "Suck My Mugwomp", "Interzone or Bust" and "Ballad of the Steely Dan Mark IV (Bring Your Own Noose)".
