Similar to how Chicago is about murderous lying women, The Long Road Home would be the story of a recovering alcoholic singer who meets her 3-show comeback tour with little dignity or grace. After the first show, her extramarital lover leaves her. The second, her husband. With every show she gets drunker and drunker, and the numbers get feistier on and off stage. She fights with all she’s got against everyone around her, until no one’s left and she takes her own life, as she lands heartily on rock bottom, ending as a somber tale with catchy yet slightly depressing tunes.
Changes:
- More musical numbers
- No side character stories (outside of how they interact with the main character)
- Ignoring a two steps forward-one step back recovery plan (the whole movie is about relapse)
