Pete Townshend at Work on New Musiscal, Floss

Pete Townshend
The Who's Pete Townshend is at work on a new musical about aging. On the singer-songwriter's blog, he's announced that the title of the show is Floss, and in it, "the songs are interspersed with surround-sound 'soundscapes' featuring complex sound-effects and musical montages."

Floss focuses on a pub-rock musician and his troubled relationship with his wife, who runs a riding stable. Songs from the show will be featured on a new Who album due next year. The piece will be heard in concert for the first time in 2011, at a venue that will be announced at a later date.

Townshend's previous rock operas Quadrophenia and Tommy started as albums and later became films and stage musicals.

Girl Crazy
City Center Encores! production of the classic George and Ira Gershwin is pleasingly zany, but lacks a little heart.
