With the successes of Rock Band, Guitar hero and other music titles 09 promises more as many a board room will be a buzz with the words; "cant we do a music game"...Dollar dollar bills...Ka-ching!
Really Useful Group, a publishing and production company setup by musical theatre composer Andrew Lloyd-Webber, is speaking with several video game publishers about possibly developing games that let players sing as characters in Lloyd-Webber's shows.
Ok....the thing that could work here aside form the recent success of the TV shows is the that Singstar has been massively popular with the female audience and RUG could follow suit, and possibly get new players due to the popularity of musicals like Phantom & Sunset Blv etc. However Singstar was popular because they always used popular music. They question will be, will the songs from these musicals be as popular? and will be people have the desire to singalong?....if this Christmas with my 64 year old mum singing along to the Mama Mia DVD was anything to go by then probably yes... Quick grab the ear plugs and smile.
