Speaking in a recent interview uDiscover Music via Antimusic, Lee was quizzed about the idea and he said, “I’ve always thought that Rush’s music really lent itself to theatrical reproduction.”

Lee cited a mix of classic older Rush records as well as more recent offerings like ‘Clockwork Angels’:

“Especially the concept albums such as ‘2112’ or, more recently, ‘Clockwork Angels’, I think, would be fantastic opportunities to orchestrate the music a little bit more, get into a whole different kind of presentation. But visually, they’re quite striking.”

The bassist believes that Rush’s powerful narrative driven prog rock would be deal fodder for a musical:

“The stories have a lot of potential in terms of staging and imaginative scenery. I think they really are tailor-made for that. So I’d love to see that happen sometime.”
