Foreigner founder Mick Jones says a musical based on the band’s songs is something he’s been thinking about for years.

He says about a dozen Foreigner songs will be included in the musical.

The story is based on a script by the British writing duo responsible for the films “The Commitments” and “Across the Universe.”
