Scott Lucas from Local H to Perform in The Wall The Midwest Rock Opera Company in Chicago are about to present a world first musical version of Pink Floyd's The Wall and Scott Lucas from Local H has a starring role.

"Scott is playing the role of the Father" Undercover is told. "The story line follows that of the movie to the best of the ability of the movie"

Lucas is a Chicago native and singer and guitarist for the duo Local H.

'The Wall' as a rock opera has never been attempted before. "MiROC is the first and only, that I know of to adapt the rock opera to stage" they say.

The Wall will be performed at the Scottish Rite Center, 790 N Van Buren, Milwaukee WI, on January 23rd, 24th, 25th, 30th, 31st, and February 1st at 8:00 pm only.

Local H have been lowkey in recent years but did release the E.P. 'No Fun' last year on the Chicago indie label Thick.

Lucas and drummer Joe Daniels formed Local H in the mid 90s. They released three albums through major label Polygram/Island in the 90s and the indie released 'Here Comes The Zoo' in 2002.
