'Fifty Shades! The Musical' to premiere next week

Kinky books: E L James’s ubiquitous ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ (Aaron Davidson)

EL James' "bonkbuster" Fifty Shades of Grey has been turned into a musical.

Fans of the trilogy, which has sold around 40 million copies, can now experience some BDSM in person. Best Damn Songs & Music, that is, according to the new show's producer Mashall Cordell.

Opening at the Assembly in Edinburgh on 22 August, Fifty Shades! The Musical is billed as "a provocative musical that will get theatre-goers laughing...and blushing".

Ana and Christian will explore bondage via show tunes; and the show promises to provide "sex education for the few that are uninformed".
