NME is reporting that R. Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon of Reno 911! are writing a Broadway musical based on the songs of Morrissey and The Smiths. Before you start jumping up and down and screaming, though, Frankly Mr. Shankly, I'm not buying it. Consider the source:

Lennon told New York Metro: "I have an outline in my head, like 'Mamma Mia'- type musical but with them music of Morrissey called 'I've Changed My Plea To Guilty'. It's for a very diehard set of fans."

Um, so he just said that in an interview?  It's just 'an outline in his head'? I think This Charming Man was just making a joke. All kinds of sites are latching on to this story, but I'm going to stretch out and wait until it's confirmed. (I'll stop now - this Joke Isn't Funny Anymore)

However, it's impossible not to imagine potential plots. Off the top of my head: The Last of the Famous International Playboys is Hand in Glove with a Hairdresser on Fire until he finds out his Girlfriend is in a Coma and pregnant with a Monster spawned last November. And Heaven Knows He's Miserable Now.
