I tried to post this once before but I guess it got lost in the ozone.

I find it hard to believe that the Bronte society would commision a musical-
I thought they were an academic organization and had better things to 
do.  Is there really a connection to the Bronte society?

Btw, I read recently that a new version of Wuthering Heights is being
filmed in Yorkshire, with part of it set in the Parsonage at Haworth,
showing Emily's life there at the time she was writing the novel.
The part of Emily was rumoured to be played by Sinead O'Connor-
an inspired choice.
