I think we're all ignoring the fact Thomas would totally "own" that role.

And, lest the mob turn on me for this vicious error, let's all remember the lyrics:
"Maybe its not to late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate"
The real question is...what's the Iron Maiden musical?
I MUST KNOW!
How about Iron Butterfly's musical "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" (Subtitled, "In the Garden of Eden").
Heck, the song itself is almost long enough for an operetta as is stands.
As for Maiden...."Somewhere Back In Time"? "A Matter of Life and Death"?
How about, "A Matter of Life and Duck"?
/Jan-Erik
I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the ground begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious of the ducks
Fear of the duck, fear of the duck
I have a constant fear that one is always near
Fear of the duck, fear of the duck
I have a phobia that waterfowl are near
Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that ducks are hunting you
Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no ones there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure a bird is near
Watching Hitchcock films the night before
Debating avian folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense and suddenly eyes fix
On waddling shadows from behind
Fear of the duck, fear of the duck
I have a constant fear that one is always near
Fear of the duck, fear of the duck
I have a phobia that waterfowl are near
When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone...
(UP THE IRONS!)
