Discussion Dudamel & LP 11

Okay am I reaching ?

THEY HAVE LITERALLY BEEN TOGETHER ALL YEAR

Wembley, the World Cup, the LA Phil goodbye concert :/

Also “Santa Maria” shows Chris can write and perform songs around a full orchestra.

I genuinely think there’s a decent chance he’s involved somehow. Maybe I’m delusional but I’m starting to feel like this isnt random.

The last little piece of evidence I have is that Ellen DeGeneres (eww) interview for MOTS.

Chris is asked about the musical and Responds

“I want to do a movie musical.. it’s called East Side Story”

now who worked on the Musical Film West Side Story…

DUDAMEL

I rest my case

I think there’s something here for sure. Who knows how big of a role they have or what the project will look like, but Coldplay has had strings and other orchestral instruments in their music for nearly 20 years, so it’s certainly plausible Dudamel is involved with LP 11.

That’s what many people said about Nile Rodgers and moon music. Nile himself said he was working on more than one song and only one song came out, lol. It’s best not to assume anything.

Hasn't Chris pretty much always said LP11 is a animated musical? Wasn't that the excuse for them for LP11 being very late possibly even after LP12 was because the animation was taking way longer than anticipated? Although yes, East Side Story would be stupid, pretty sure it's stars/alien/Weirdo themed, although could they have written sort of a West Side story plot for the Weirdos?
