"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

I guess I'm not even allowed to post with asterisks the first word that came to mind, but I wish him a speedy recovery as well.

I'm an atheist but I'll ask my religious brother to mention him in prayers tonight. You never know what will help....

A girl I know on-line met him at the Phantom 20th "birthday" performance and she mentioned he didn't look well.

Here's wishing him the best recovery.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Hearing that he's not well makes me very sad.

I'm sure Riedel wouldn't make something as serious as this up, but why are the Post and BWW the only two sources reporting this? It hasn't been on Playbill.com, has it?
