Surely this idea already has occurred to Eric "Spamalot" Idle and Neil "the Seventh Python" Innes - but, in a year or two, when a stage musical about The Rutles is the hottest ticket on Broadway, I'll gladly claim some psychic credit. If "Hairspray" and "The Producers" could become smash hits, why not the story of The Pre-Fab Four?
Assuming my fine-tuned powers of prediction hold true, the Rutles musical will follow hot on the heels of musician Jim Boggia's long-rumored worldwide "Rutlemania" tribute tour. (At Boggia's request, I should mention that "Rutlemania," "Rut-a-delic" and the capital letter "R" are all registered trademarks of Boggiaco Industries.)
