What If The TMNT Were A Rock Opera?

I actually think this might be a good idea. I've got 3 basic set-ups so far, and would love (if you're as bored as me!) to hear your ideas on which one would be the best:

The Shell: This would be like Pink Floyd's The Wall. The turtles are bitter and jaded toward the outside world, which forces them to scrounge for change to buy pizza. And the pizza guy always gives them grief! What a horrible world we live in.

Casey: This would be like The Who's Tommy, only it would focus on a certain fellow named Casey Jones. Casey was born a deaf, dumb, blind kid who can only see JUSTICE. The plot revolves around different people trying to take advantage of his obsession with JUSTICE, and how he deals with people in black & white, or maybe shades of grey.

Ninjaphenia: This would like The Who's Quadrophenia, which is pretty much the best rock record ever

. The set-up would be the Turtles versus the Foot, which would work really nicely with the music, as the original was about punks and mods. Songs like "The Punk And The Godfather" could easily be retrofitted to be about Raphael meeting the Shredder (or maybe Casey meeting the Shredder?).

Anyways, what do you all think? And be honest!
