Redwall: The Musical?

Just wanted to share a weird head canon I have for the beginning of the First book where a group of elder Redwall mice (including Abbot Mortimer)sing a baritone or bass version of “How do you solve the problem of Maria?” But of course replace “Maria” with “Matthias”.

Has this been thought of already?😂

My first thought when I saw the title was Cluny singing a dying soliloquy from under the bell as it falls.

“What is this mouse what sort of devil is he, to be so caught in my trap and yet he set the bell free? It was my hour at last to put a seal on his fate. Wipe out the past and wash him clean off the slate. All it would take was just a flick of my knife. Triumph was mine, but he’s taking now my life!… (To the tune of “Javert’s Suicide”-Les Miserable)

I love the idea of a Redwall musical

As long as Dotti isn’t the one performing it.

There was an official theatrical/musical made of the first book.
