studs terkel: the musical?

Is this as bad as it sounds? A *musical* based on Studs Terkel's classic piece of oral history, Working? Terkel's book came out in 1972 and drew praise from the left as well as the mainstream for its diverse set of commentaries/rants/narratives about what people "do all day and how they feel about what they do." Working-class studies, as an academic discipline, probably would not be possible without Terkel.

But a musical?
