Yoshima Battles the Pink Robots

Yoshima Battles the Pink Robots is becoming a broadway musical. The albom, created by the band The Flaming Lips, is one of my all time favorites. Wayne Coyne, the lead singer, guitarist, and principle songwriter for the band said this:

"There's the real world and then there's this fantastical world. This girl, the Yoshimi character, is dying of something. And these two guys are battling to come visit her in the hospital. And as one of the boyfriends envisions trying to save the girl, he enters this other dimension where Yoshimi is this Japanese warrior and the pink robots are an incarnation of her disease. It's almost like the disease has to win in order for her soul to survive. Or something like that."

Both musicals and The Flaming Lips are always great so the combination is perfect. The plot sounds really interesting. I've had so much fun imagining what the costumes and props and all that will look like. Can't wait to see how it turns out (if I see it live). I suppose if it doesn't come to a town nearby (i.e. Nashville, Atlanta) I can always watch the YouTube Videos, but somehow I feel like that wouldn't be quite the same.
