LONDON - Pop singer George Michael (news) is considering whether to turn the music of Wham! into a musical. Michael tells a London radio station two or three producers have approached him and Andrew Ridgeley (news) with the idea.

Michael says on a creative level, he hates the idea. However, he says he knows a certain generation of people would love it.


He says Ridgeley is of the opinion that if the story is good enough, it would be "snotty" to not do it. He says Ridgeley would love the fact that it would make a fortune as well. Michael says he's afraid the stage version would be "a lot of cheese" and he would "literally have to avoid the premiere."


Michael has reason for concern, as musicals based on pop music have had a mixed showing in the United States. "Mama Mia!," based on music by Abba, and "Movin' Out," centered around Billy Joel (news) songs, have both fared well on Broadway. However, "Taboo," a musical prominently using Boy George songs and backed by Rosie O'Donnell (news), closed in February after three months.
