Information for The Lord of the Rings - A Musical Tale at Theatre Royal Plymouth, Plymouth (Musical). As the Hobbits celebrate Bilbo Baggins' eleventy-first birthday, he gifts his nephew Frodo his inheritance - including his most precious belonging - a gold ring. Little does he know that his legacy will confront Frodo with an immense and impossible task; a perilous journey across the darkest realms of Mordor to foil the Dark Lord's quest for total dominion. Originating at The Watermill Theatre in 2023, and told from the Hobbits' perspective, director Paul Hart's production is a unique theatrical interpretation of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic trilogy.
