I would see that musical! I would even MORE go see a musical about Henry I's first wife, Edith/Matilda of Scotland, who as I recall had an exciting time hiding out in abbeys since she was the sister of Edgar the Aetheling and thus various Norman contenders wanted to marry her and legitimise their line by adding Anglo-Saxon royal blood. Plus she ran the kingdom for him repeatedly while he was off doing Things, and was a patron of the arts and architecture and all kinds of stuff. Which I suppose does not lend itself to glittery costumes and pop music as well, but I love her.
