There are some people in the world who say that writing stories, or composing music or dancing sparkly dances is easy for them. Nothing interferes with their ability to create. While I celebrate their creative freedom, a little part of me just wants to punch those motherf*ckers in the teeth...[tos]

This one actually happened -- Peter Allen as Legs Diamond. The role called for a tough-guy song and dance man and Allen was never believeable. His stand-by was Larry Kert, who would have probably been a better fit.
