Oh, Adrian

This might seem like a joke, but it isn't. Rocky's being made into a musical, and it's premiering in Hamburg, Germany, the spiritual home of all film/broadway conversions.

Some people might think it was a bad idea, a cynical ploy to cash in on a franchise that possibly shouldn't have had as many films as it did. No-one that we know though, and certainly not millionaire Sylvester Stallone:

"At the end of the day, Rocky is a love story and he could never have reached the final bell without Adrian. To see this story coming to life on a musical stage makes me proud. And it would make Rocky proud."

From what we remember, Rocky wasn't that bright, and quite violent, so maybe not Rocky, but certainly Sly, which is nice.

Incidentally, if you get a bit bored by the conversational German in the middle of the video, just forward to 3.30. God's language starts again there.
