I'm assuming that ALW is too busy with that Phantom of the Opera sequel set on Coney Island. I wish I were making that up.

It's just getting harder and harder to parody anything.

I didn't really realize Andrew Lloyd Webber was a living human being until I read this post. I always sort of assumed he was a by-product of mining operations, or something that got shipped around the country in trucks.

A few years after I wrote Evel! The Musical, I heard about actual plans to do an Evel Knievel rock opera. I don't know if anything came of it.

Dear god yes. There were ads for it all over the tube in London when I was there in November.

And Ron, where's the radio button for "I totally believe it" ?

the torture ALW was the I totally believer button

Since IF it were true
THEN it would be the clear and compelling argument for torture!
{ it's in the bible, you can look it up. }

That's a good reason to torture Andrew Lloyd Weber, even if it's NOT true.

It's not true, but should be.

My original assumption was that it was playing at the annoyance theatre in Chicago, purveyor of Manson the Musical and other similar crimes against good taste and rational behavior (ie: awesome.)

My home town is where they did the bank robbery and killed someone, you insensitive clod.

Seriously, Carmichael, CA is my hood. (And cda's.)

What the world must know is if the SLA would've preferred Symbian phones or not.

no, just say no!

Don't make me dress up like nancy reagan and teach you how to just say NO!

Between the MSNBC Witness ads and the musical of The 39 Steps (which I see just closed today), I totally bought it.

I'd find it more believable as a John Adams opera.

[mmcirvin.livejournal.com]

Sondheim could make it work.

There is existing work in this field. (http://www.xlerb.net/misc/raspberry-reich-review-wwwarch.txt)
