I got hooked on the Tales series when I spent a summer at a university in Germany and they were some of the only books they had printed in English. I read them all back to back and loved them. I really like the original trilogy the best. I hated the way Mary Ann's character changed in the second trilogy (I won't give anything away). Whatever happened to the musical that was announced about four years ago? Was it ever produced anywhere? I thought it was a brilliant idea.
Chloe Webb and Marcus D'Amico will always be Mona and Mouse for me.

'Chloe Webb and Marcus D'Amico will always be Mona and Mouse for me.'
Me too! I didn't mind Mouse v2.0 so much...but Chloe Webb was flawless and irreplaceable.

Posted: 9/19/05 at 5:17pmChloe Webb WAS Mona. Period. After the first series, I just superimposed Chloe onto the new Mona mentally to get through her scenes. And who can forget the Parker Posey cameo as Mary Ann's high school chum and temporary roommate, Connie? Bliss, I tell you!

I preferred Paul Hopkins, the second Mouse, to D'Amico, but I agree that Chloe Webb was Mona Ramsey.

It took me a while to get used to Hopkins...but I ended up enjoying him.
But Webb...sheer brilliance!

Posted: 9/19/05 at 5:45pmHopkins was ok, but I think his performance was a bit forced. Especially the accent. D'Amico really looked liked Mouse (or how I imagined Mouse). Hopkins looked like a Marlboro ad or one of the cast from L.A. Tool and Die. Not that it's a BAD thing, but it wasn't Mouse.

Posted: 9/19/05 at 9:23pmWhatever happened to Marcus D'Amico? He did a play on Broadway (A British who-done-it, I can't remember the title) and then disappeared from the scene. It he in poor health?
