Oh, it was divine.

Okay, not.

Into the Light had its moments, though. I actually liked Dean Jones. But that imaginary friend/mime character was painful. And those "state of the art" laser beams.

Raul Esparza needs a great role like that to make people forget all the crap he's done lately.

Into the Light could definitely pull him out of his rut.

And into the light!

I can see him now, belting for all he's worth, while running around the stage in a lab coat!

Nothing says, "perfect thing for a musical" like the Shroud of Turin.

Long Live God! On A Shroud!

SIERRA BOGGESS should play the Shroud!

It should play the Sondheim, since he's God.

Poppycock. Fela has nothing to do with God's bedsheet or a quirky ginger thing.

They should cast Laura Osnes in Fela. Updated On: 7/11/12 at 10:38 PM

Angel of Music: The Untold Musical Prequel to The Phantom of the Opera, or, as we theatre nerds like to call it, AOM:TUMPTTPOTO (when you pronounce the abbreviation correctly, it sounds like an AOL dialup signal)
