In a darkened theater a disembodied voice:

One ring to rule them all,
One ring to find them.
One ring to bring them all,
And in the darkness bind them…

as Gandalf appears on stage, shimmering in white…

PAY ME HEED MY GOOD PEOPLE,
FOR THIS IS A STORY,
OF LEGENDS AND WIZARDS, OF KINGS.
A WONDEROUS TALE YOU SHOULD KNOW,
FROM AN AGE LONG AGO,
BEFORE MAN WAS THE MEASURE OF THINGS.
WHEN THE EARTH GENTLY MURMURED
HER SONG TO THE FOREST,
AND THE BREEZE GENTLY WHISPERED ITS PART;
WHEN THE SMALLEST STOOD TALL,
AND IS STILL KNOWN TO ALL,
BY HIS STRENGTH AND GOODNESS OF HEART.



thus begins…

The One Ring, the musical
