I thought Lloyd Webber's cat was writing the lyrics...?

"If there is going to be a restoration fee, there should also be a Renaissance fee, a Middle Ages fee and a Dark Ages fee. Someone must have men in the back room making up names, euphemisms for profit." (Emanuel Azenberg)

This is great news. I hope ALW and Tim Rice will finish the whole piece soon.

That's basically how I feel about everything to do with this sequel.

Rice's lyrics will bring down Webber's score.

Glenn Slater, lyricist for Menken's new Mermaid, is the new lyricist for Webber. Slater is now in London doing workshop of Sister Act and then working with Webber on Phantom II.

What a merry-go-round!

Maybe they can do a line each?

Better yet, ALW should try that up-and-coming lyricist, Stephen Sondheim!

I feel like sending ALW a box of cats, that way they can all run across his keyboard and delete this horrible idea again!

The 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.

"But I can tell you that Raoul, who was so handsome in "The Phantom," is now a drunken wreck."

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.
