**** *** ******* **** banana **** *** ******* cat **** Lloyd Webber.
That's basically how I feel about everything to do with this sequel.

What a merry-go-round!
Maybe they can do a line each?
Better yet, ALW should try that up-and-coming lyricist, Stephen Sondheim!

Posted: 3/26/08 at 10:05amI hear he wants to write scores.

Posted: 3/26/08 at 10:11amI feel like sending ALW a box of cats, that way they can all run across his keyboard and delete this horrible idea again!

Posted: 3/26/08 at 10:57amThe idea for a sequel is lame, but I at least want to hear the score. The Woman in White was a flop but at least we got some good music out of it.

I'll take bets now on how many good songs there will be and where they will be placed.
There's good odds for a decent ballad halfway through the second act.
