Pat Benatar’s life is being made into a Broadway musical
Because apparently the music video for “Love Is A Battlefield” didn’t tell the story well enough (and also probably because it wasn’t an accurate depiction of her life), there will soon be a Broadway musical about rock icon Pat Benatar and her husband/longtime guitarist Neil Giraldo. That’s according to Deadline, which says the musical’s book will be written by Gary Lennon, a writer who has worked on Power, Orange Is The New Black, Justified, and The Shield, nearly all of which could’ve been improved with the addition of some rockin’ Pat Benatar tunes. Deadline says the people behind the musical describe it as “fast paced, hard-hitting, and heartbreaking” (but not “Heartbreaker-ing,” for some reason), and it will reportedly follow the trend started by stuff like Jersey Boys, Rock Of Ages, and On Your Feet by prominently featuring Benatar’s music.
