Jazz/rock group Chicago is the latest band to take its work to a new stage. The Grammy-winning group has signed to develop the musical Colour My World, with plans for a premiere next spring. Writer Jeff Arch (Sleepless in Seattle) and musical director Doug Katsaros are working on the project, which will feature the group's horn-driven hits. Colour My World follows in the footsteps of ABBA's Mamma Mia! and a new production featuring the music of Queen that will open in Las Vegas in September.

Can the Kansas and Boston musicals be far behind? Air Supply? Foreigner?

I think I'm going to my bunk and wait for that spaceship to arrive now.

Now if they were redoing their whole catalogue in Yiddish (w/ Kool Moe Dee and Sofie Von Otter alternating lead vocal chores) then I might shell out for that.

Let's see....

"Boychik What a Big Surprise"
"Saturday at the Shul (You'd Think it was the First Day of Purim)"

I'll give this one a miss. Chicago were never a fave of mine.

My wife had an annoying freshman year roommate who used to play Peter Cetera's "You're The Inspiration" over and over again on a loop tape (it was she and her boyfriend's "song").

Every time my wife hears Cetera's voice now, she immediately flips the radio off.
