I am pleased to announce my "one man show" version of Miss Saigon complete with a helicopter (from my nephew), a cadillac (from my niece - sorry Barbie, you'll have to do without for a few days) and a statue of George W. Bush.
I'll be doing cartwheels and ribbon dancing as well.
Oh what fun. Now if I can just find a kimono that fits.
I'll be doing Parade but I'm replacing, "That's What He Said," with "Run and Tell That," and , "Sch'ma" with "No One Mourns The Wicked," because I wanted to give a more sympathetic portrayal of the oppressed Southerners who were attacked by the radical Brooklyn Jews.
That's ok, right?
BSoBW2: I punched Sondheim in the face after I saw Wicked and said, "Why couldn't you write like that!?"
Just so everyone knows where to go if they find out about an illegal production, I know some places to go to for certain shows
Hairspray - I tell Marc Shaiman Wicked - Michael Cole (Stephen Schwartz's assistant) Any of the Disney shows - I report to Disney I don't know about any other places. Phyllis Rogers Stone, you should have reported that illegal production. You were ripping Stephen Schwartz off. He worked very hard to make "Wicked" a great show, and he actually does make some money from the productions around the world, but he loses money when some people who are stupid decide to go and break the law and do an illegal production.
Tell them I am composing a combo of Hairspray, the Little Mermaid, and Wicked in which I will be playing the title role of "Trarida" (Tracy,Ariel,Glinda. Arent I clever?) Now, the music will be the exact same. Should you report me now?

And he must have lost millions with the wonderful, critically praised production that you are mentioining. I waited in line three days for tickets and they were still sold out by the time I got to the box office. Phyllis Rogers Stone, how do you sleep at night?
Actually, several people who saw the Wicked production at my birthday party went to see the tour because they enjoyed mine so much. I actually made money for them!
