Joss Whedon Wants to Direct a New Musical?

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog creator and GLEE director Joss Whedon recently had a long chat with GQ, where he brought up his taste in musicals. Whedon commented: 'The musicals that I love on stage are generally meant for the stage. I'm not a Les Mis fan. I have a lot of friends who just want to beat me with sticks when I tell them that but what I'm interested in are new musicals, real book musicals - not jukebox musicals.'

He continued: 'When they first told me about Smash a couple of years ago they told me they were writing something original, so if that's the case then I would be interested.'
