Saw this with Darren Day at the Bristol Hippodrome in the late eighties, very enjoyable show despite himself. I think it could do very well with the right lead, the album is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine...
Whilst he may, and does indeed appear to know what he is talking about, he may not know too. It all comes down to "don't trust everything you read." Besides that, things change right down to the last minute especially in the world of theatre. But his rumour confirmation/denial service is quite interesting all the same.
