Imaginamos que la cuenta corriente de Courtney Love debe andar bajo mínimos ya que según ha reconocido al New Musical Express no descarta hacer un musical dedicado al que fuese su marido, Kurt Cobain.
Tras ser inundada por toneladas de mensajes y posts en redes sociales de fans de Nirvana presionando para que se haga realidad un musical, tanto Frances como yo hemos pensado largo y tendido que, si logramos tirar a lo más alto y elegimos un equipo de guionistas, productores y directores de lo mejor y más respetado, entonces es muy probable que se haga un musical de Broadway.
Tendría que haber una historia, una gran historia, una que no se haya contado antes. Dedicaría incontables horas con un equipo de primera para crear un proyecto que reflejara a Kurt del modo más honesto posible, de modo que su historia, su música y su legado pueda resucitar en el escenario no solo para que el mundo lo vea sino aún más importante, que lo vea nuestra hija. Sé que el espíritu de su padre estará en ese escenario y estar en ese escenario con ella será la experiencia más emocional de nuestras vidas.
IN ENGLISH
Love speaks as part of NME‘s tribute to Kurt Cobain on the 20th anniversary of the Nirvana frontman’s death, on newsstands and available digitally from tomorrow (April 2).
In the piece, Love opens up about the anniversary and reveals ambitious plans for her late husband’s legacy, including a biopic, documentary and play. Love states that it has been fans’ reactions to the possibility of a stage production involving Cobain’s story which has made it now «very likely» to happen.
«After being swarmed by tons of Nirvana fanmail and social media posts pushing for a musical to become a reality, both Frances [Bean Cobain, Kurt and Courtney’s daughter] and I have thought long and hard and agreed that if we can reach up to the highest shelf and select a team of the greatest and most respected writers, producers and directors, then a Broadway musical is very likely to happen,» says Love.
She continues: «There would have to be a story, and a great story, one that hasn’t been told before. I would devote countless hours with an A-team to create a project that reflects Kurt in the most respectful but honest way possible, so that his story, his music and his legacy can be resurrected on stage for not only the world to see, but more importantly for our daughter to see. I know her father’s spirit will be on that stage, and sitting in that theatre with her will be the most emotional experience of our lives.»
Elsewhere in the issue, musicians who recorded Cobain’s favourite albums (including members of Pixies, Wipers, Gang Of Four, The Vaselines and The Slits) celebrate his legacy.
