Story
The story opens at a rock concert somewhere on Earth, where the 'Rock Star' - the biggest star on the planet - is performing.
During his performance of 'TIME', the song is dramatically and mysteriously 'interrupted' and the 'Rock Star' is transported to The High Court Of The Universe to answer the charge that Earth has become a threat to Universal Peace and as such cannot be allowed to continue its existence.
The musical takes the form of a trial set in space with the 'Rock Star' forced to defend the Earth
