ANYA -- the musical version of ANASTASIA

MY FAIR LADY was "influenced" by the tale of the mythical king Pygmalion

GYPSY was the "queen of the strip-tease"

THE SLEEPING PRINCE, its film version THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL and its musical version THE GIRL WHO CAME TO SUPPER

And two Aussie musicals actually ABOUT Windsor and Wally's affair...ALWAYS, which flopped hideously on the West End a couple of years ago, and WALLIS, which I don't think got any further than several workshops and a concept album starring Michael Cormick (WOMAN IN WHITE).

Evita

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Did anyone mention Boy From Oz? I understand Hugh Jackman played a queen in that one.
