Even country star Garth Brooks is reported by Variety to be mulling a musical based on the western movie Shane...

Doctorow was impressed, first of all, that Garth Drabinsky--the Canadian producer who wanted to turn his novel Ragtime into a musical--agreed with him about the 1981 movie version: they both disliked it. He was impressed too that Drabinsky seemed to have read the book closely and thought about it deeply.
