Kanye West: The Musical To Open In Australia

A musical based on the life of Kanye West is set to open in Australia.

The two-man production will run at the University of Sydney's Cellar Theatre from September 5-7.

The musical is the brainchild of students Damien Higginbotham and Phillip Roser, who said the pair were big fans of the rapper.

“I thought that a musical in his honour would be a lot of fun to put on,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “I really just meant the show to be something fun for my friends to see and I'm pretty excited by all the attention it's been getting."

At present, it is unclear which parts of West's life will make the production, although fans can probably expect a reference to his infamous stage invasion during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Muisc Awards.

West also famously claimed after Hurricane Katrina that “George Bush doesn't care about black people.”
