An unlikely subject for a musical, perhaps, but for someone who had a hit song in Latin — Oh What Circus from Evita —anything is possible. In this case, Capt. Bligh and Fletcher Christian are. cast as latent lovers who fall out because Christian falls for a South Seas beauty, thus triggering a mutiny. that symbolizes the social uphea- val that gripped Britain at the end of the 18th century. “I've wanted to write .q musical on a big scale for a» long time,” Essex said in an interview. “We went through several ideas — would you., believe The Third Reich? — that sort of thing.
