Mike Read Readies YMCA 1970s Musical???
Date: 26 February 2004
And turning back the clock another decade still,
Mike Read, fresh from the jungle of reality TV’s
I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!, is reportedly working on
YMCA, a new musical about 1970s camp boys the Village People who had a hit with the arm-waving song of the title, which he plans to write and direct for a summer premiere. Last year,
Cliff - The Musical, the former DJ and television presenter’s self-penned bio-musical in which he appeared as one of four Cliff Richards, had a critically panned West End season at the Prince of Wales. At the time, Read said he was also working on two other stage projects - an adaptation of
The Prince and the Pauper and a musical version of
A Midsummer Night's Dream titled
Oh Puck! (See
The Goss, 29 Apr 2003).
