Star Wars - Lucas To Take A Turn On Broadway


STAR WARS creator GEORGE LUCAS is planning to lend his directorial talents to a Broadway musical with the help of comedienne WHOOPI GOLDBERG, according to reports.

Goldberg, who has made a number of appearances on the New York stage, is talking to Lucas' motion picture and visual effects company Industrial Light and Magic about a collaboration on musical Bricktop - Queen of the Night, reports the New York Daily News.

The musical centres around a fabled Parisian cabaret owner Ada 'Bricktop' Smith.

A source tells the newspaper, "They're talking about playing with Cubist images and jazz from the (1920's)," adding that Lucas "could do things Broadway has never seen before".
