After the show, you have lunch, more wine and then, thank God, a nap. Dinner is a lavish, sit-down affair. That night's entertainment: the five women who competed on a British television reality show (Andrew was a judge) to play Nancy in an upcoming revival of "Oliver."
The winner, who was selected by viewers, is on the heavy side, prompting one wag to comment that "As Long as He Needs Me" will have to be changed to "As Long as He Feeds Me."
That was really unnecessarily cruel. She's actually quite stunning and incredibly talented. She was my pick to win the competition from the very first episodes of auditions. I'm hoping to make a special trip to London to see her in the show.

Posted: 7/16/08 at 12:31pmRaoul has squandered away their fortune? Sounds like a bad fanfic! I bet he bought fancy suits and stuff because he's such a fop, you know??

This would sound so much more believable if I were drunk.
...Like really, REALLY sh*tfaced.

With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-

I thought ALW was now aiming to premiere A Star is Born as a movie.
Ever heard the story of a certain inebriated composer sitting on a roadside in the Caribbean, being berated by his wife to sober up? Me neither.

Weez, SADM2, Wicked: count me in for the opening night heckling.
I met one of the Gallery First Nighters on several occasions and he was always very good company. We were at Sondheim shows though so he always behaved himself.

Posted: 7/16/08 at 3:24pmHow did Raoul eventually buy all that crap at the opera auction if he squandered away his fortune?
#37re: Phantom Of The Opera part II synopsis (only act I)
Posted: 7/16/08 at 3:26pmCalvin, it's ALW. You're not supposed to think or use logic.

just sing the same tune 14 times and hope no one notices it's the same song from his other shows.
And that automaton idea is just wacky. I wonder is she's like a robot, or a Christine blow-up doll. Imagine the marketing possibilities. They cold sell them in the gift shop!

Maybe the auctions are how he squandered his fortune!
I mean, the character was basically the equivalent of today's stage door johnny (he got really excited that he got to see an understudy perform, right?), so maybe he obsessed over getting posters, trinkets and such from every opera production that came along.

Posted: 7/16/08 at 3:59pmAt the VERY end of the article, it says that Raoul is a drunk! So he must waste their money on booze or something.

Oh my.
That's all I can say after reading the synopsis.
"Do we think ALW makes love to an automaton of Sarah Brightman somewhere on his Sydmonton estate? THAT sounds a lot more believable."
I think that's the most hysterical thing I've read all day!!!!!

That's so silly.
Automatrons were not yet invented in 1906.

Posted: 7/16/08 at 7:27pmThe phantom running around and haunting Coney Island sounds like a bad episode of Scooby Doo. I wonder if Shaggy and Velma will show up midway through act two with the assistance of Phyllis Diller and the Harlem Globetrotters.

Sounds like POTO meets Metropolis with a little of Annie 2 thrown in
What a mess.
#47re: Phantom Of The Opera part II synopsis (only act I)
Posted: 8/3/08 at 6:08pmMy guess is that the only way ALW can get this thing going is to back-up a Brinks truck to Michael Crawford's house. Since POTO 2 is set 20 years later, it is in the realm of possibility the Crawford could be tapped. Michael, please don't answer the door!
