Rock legends Ringo Starr and Dave Stewart team up to write an original musical.

Legendary Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has joined forces with former Eurythmics rocker Dave Stewart to write a musical, and they're setting their sights on Broadway.

"Me and Dave wrote a musical, a complete thing—characters, story, a lot of songs,” Starr told music magazine Mojo. “We wrote it for Broadway, but it will more likely end up [as] a movie... and I'm not telling you anything else. It's about other people," he said.

The collaboration came about when the pair worked on Starr’s upcoming album, Ringo 2012, for which Stewart wrote several tracks. The project isn't Stewart's first foray into the world of musical theater. He penned music and lyrics for the musical adaptation of Ghost, currently running at London’s Piccadilly Theatre and opening at Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on April 23, 2012.
