Did anyone notice that the opening waltz has strands from "Woman In White"? Tell me you heard it too????

ALW attributes his "inspiration" for writing the sequel to Maria Bjornson, who according to him, said the ending of the original show was boring. Boring?! Conveniently, she is dead and cannot be contacted for comment.

Dear ALW,

When someone tells you an ending is boring, rather than write a sequel, the obvious solution to that is fixing the ending, you nimrod!

Love,
me

Elimeyer-- I know what you mean about the hints of Woman in White in the instrumental theme! I kind of like that, though.

I actually really like the Phantom's song... it reminds me of a combination of "If I Can't Love Her" from Beauty and the Beast, "Evermore Without You" from Woman In White, and (most of all), "I Miss The Music" from Curtains. Ramin's voice is outrageously gorgeous. I know he had some bad pitch problems in Les Miserables, but this was BEAUTIFUL, especially that high note near the end.

Yeah, Ramin sharps and goes flat more often than the average musical theatre performer.

I'd still say he's pretty damn good for never having had one voice lesson or any formal training. And this performance in particular was amazing.

Whoa, I had no idea he had no training! That's amazing!

Weird, none of my favorite musical theatre performers had any training before they first appeared on Broadway/West End... Terry Mann, Michael Ball, Norm Lewis...
