The man who was largely responsible for staging Woodstock in 1969 hopes to have a musical based on the festival on a Broadway stage.  In an interview with the Poughkeepsie Journal Michael Lang said writing The Road To Woodstock (story), his recently published book that chronicles the experience of putting on Woodstock, inspired him to follow through on the notion he'd had for years to create a musical based on the festival.  He wants the musical to have characters able to convey why the event of 40 years ago still resonates strongly in the lives of many.  Lang told the paper that the creative team is close to assembled.  An effort by Lang to stage a free anniversary concert this summer fell short due to the tight economy (story).
