“Ghost Brothers of Darkland County,” a new Southern Gothic musical by Stephen King, the horror writer, and John Mellencamp, the musician, is to open in April 2009 at the Alliance Theater in Atlanta. In a recent interview in Rolling Stone Mr. Mellencamp said that if the musical, about the reverberations of a tragedy in small-town Mississippi, did well in Atlanta, it would head to Broadway.

I hope it makes it to Broadway.  These two are each really great at what they do so it will be interesting to see how it all turns out.
