Has anyone else here seen this musical? I saw it in about 1985 aged 8/9, in London, and was bowled over by it... quite moved, in fact -- the age of innocence. I only ask because I downloaded the music yesterday, and it conjurs up memories, ah sweet memories. |

Apparently not as popular as it was 18 years ago :| |

sorry... I didn't notice this topic at first (I had it on ignore). I haven't seen the play, but I sure would like to. I haven't been to a play in... 5-10 years or so. |

It has to be better than Miss Saigon. That really was a steaming pile. Mind you, I've yet to see a good "live" musical. They seem to consist of incredibly simplistic plots and the overbearing optimism and "happy clappyness" of them errodes any of the engaging, emotional experience that normally comes with live theatre. However, The Wicker Man is a fantastic film and I'd class that as a musical. |

I'm sorry but Andrew Lloyd Webber writes the most torpid, turgid nonsense ever. Jesus Christ Superstar? come on! Cats? Gimme a break! Roger Waters summed him up nicely in his song 'It's a Miracle' We cower in our shelters With our hands over our ears Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff Runs for years and years and years An earthquake hits the theater But the operetta lingers Then the piano lid comes down And breaks his fucking fingers It's a miracle A lyric which is probably written in reaction to the fact that Lloyd Webber ripped off the riff from Pink Floyd's Echoes, for Phanton of the Opera. Ahhh...Subjectivity is a beautiful thing. |

Like Pink Floyd / Roger Waters never ripped anyone else off! He's a dour bitter bastard, but I love him anyway. |

Actually "Pink Floyd" means 'the one who does not rip off'. Though Waters refers to 'the one who ripples', maybe that's what you were thinking about? |

Dennis: "Andrew, quick question for the BBC? Is it correct that recently, you've been writing sheets and sheets of music and then erasing them and rubbing them out?" ALW: "No" Dennis: "No? Oh because if you don't mind me saying I heard you were decomposing these days. Is that correct? No?" |

I went to the L Double drum and bass version. |

Yeah, musicals would be fine- if they used good music for them. Having good plots too would help, but I'd sit through something banal like Cats if the soundtrack was hip hop or electronica. Come to think of it, Beat Street is a musical with good music. |

I saw Phantom on Broadway actually. It was good. |

i hate the phantom of the opera. the songs remind me off something but i cant remember, anyway it makes me anxious and depressed. |
||||||||
|

|
|
hmm, maybe it is meant to make you feel anxious -- it's based on a gothic horror novel, after all. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
also meant to make you feel depressed? |
||||||||
|
|

scup_bucket comes across as someone easily depressed / moody, anyway, Alex -- dono if I can blame Phantom for that one :P And anyway, back to the subject -- maybe it's a musical best seen live, rather than just listening to the songs? And I don't like any other LLoyd Webber musicals, and I can't stand him as a person, either. |
