'Lazarus' actress thinks David Bowie would "turn in his grave" at "jukebox musical"

Actress Amy Lennox, who is currently the lead star in the musical production of 'Lazarus', has revealed that the late David Bowie would "turn in his grave" if he knew his material was being used in a musical. 

She told BANG Showbiz that "jukebox musicals" (such as 'We Will Rock You' and 'Motown: the Musical') are cringeworthy and she's certain that the icon wouldn't approve of his own music being used in such a way:

"I'd hate that, that would be awful. I hate jukebox musicals, there's a couple that work, like 'Jersey Boys' is great. I think if you put David Bowie's songs in a story and turned them in to some sort of jukebox concert show I think he would turn in his grave, it's not my cup of tea."

Talking about Bowie's life, she added: "He was a private person, I suppose he was in the limelight for 40 odd years so fame is kind of stressful, it's alright when you're in the early stages of your career but after a while it becomes stifling."
