re: Windsor and Wally's Affair

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.

re: Windsor and Wally's Affair

Not on stage but I love 'Edward and Mrs. Simpson' the BBC series.

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