Since the movie is coming out I decided to see what happened to Douglas Adams h2g2 idea. It’s funny how much wikipedia is similar. Maybe because it was commercial it never flourished, anyway I consider the late Mr. Adams to be the inventor of the idea. I found these article interesting:

Kingston, ON - Avril Lavigne’s heart-felt song, “I’m With You", has been selected as the first song to fill the skies over Toronto, Canada in an upcoming acoustic magic show developed by Reichen Minogue of IMXLabs.com. Dubbed as the “show to end all shows", Minogue prepares the Canadian population for a “grand event” which will “dazzle humanity".

“The concept is a magical performance unlike any other prior magic-based stage production. Using advances in acoustic broadcasting and quantum sonic mechanics, we have eliminated the need for speakers outright. Music will literally engulf the entire greater Toronto area leaving no space void of Avril Lavigne’s voice. Her song will be heard in the middle of the night by no less than five million people during a single daily broadcast to be repeated over fourteen subsequent days", he stated during a recent telephone interview.

The show has been titled as ‘The Gabriel’s Trumpet Project’ and is currently still within pre-production in Cairo, Egypt by Artist Group Agency (AGA) and Reichen Group Corp (RGC).

No show date has been released.
