Much Adoobie Brothers About Nothing

Via Variety:

If you've been pining for a show that combines the rocking authority of "Takin' It to the Streets" and the poetic genius of Shakespeare, your long wait is over. The Troubadour Theater Company has long been known for its felicitous mixtures of popular music and the Bard, and its new world premiere production, "Much Adoobie Brothers About Nothing," is an entertaining continuation of this tradition.
More info here. Hmmm. That's either gonna be terrible or fuckin' awesome.

What book/band combo would you like to see? Points for puns.

The Troubie shows are phenomenal -- highly recommended. I've seen several -- the best I've seen are "Hamlet: the Artist Formerly Known as Prince of Denmark" and "It's a Stevie Wonderful Life."
