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.

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.

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.)

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.
