With his daughter Jesse, set to be featured on MTV’s newest reality show, Rock The Cradle, “Two Tickets To Paradise” king Eddie Money is back,�touring�casinos near you, writing a Broadway musical of his life�and going a little country. Of his Great White Way ambitions, he had this to say:

I�m hoping to get it on Broadway in the next couple years. I�m calling it Two Tickets to Paradise, and it�s basically the Eddie Money story, but I�ve kind of condensed everything and moved all the events back so that I�m writing �Two Tickets� in the late �60s, about 10 years earlier than I actually did.

I wanted to capture that whole era, because it was such an important time when it seemed like everything was going on at once. I had a brother who was in the war zone in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive, so I wanted to capture that. The whole show takes place on the night before I left [New York] for California. It shows how I met Laurie [his wife], it shows the overdose, all of that stuff.

It�s kind of like Jersey Boys a little bit, but in a different time period. That show reminded me a lot of myself, except in Jersey Boys it�s Frankie Valli�s daughter who dies of a drug overdose and in my play it�s me that has one. So we�ll see. There�s a lot of interest in it in New York right now, so I�m hopeful.

His song “Shakin’” is featured on the Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80′s. His official site is here along with tour dates and other info.
