"We have to walk 500 Miles to throw the R away..."

How do people decide who should be turned into one of those godawful West End musicals? It's starting to look increasingly random - as, following on from Queen (success), Abba (success), Rod Stewart (failed) and Madness (flop) comes... The Proclaimers musical.

Yes, The Proclaimers.

It's going to be called Sunshine On Leith - The Musical. And yes, we do imagine one of the characters will have to go to America, in order to work 'Letter From America' into the plot.

What a pity they don't have a song 'Everyone dies in the first act so let's go to the bar.'
