^ There's a long-standing rumour (that I believe, just because I want it to be true) that the lyricist for The Phantom of the Opera - Charles Hart - actually wrote most of the score aswell, because ALW was too drunk/lazy to do it himself. When I first heard the cast recording of Love Never Dies my conviction in that rumour only strengthened. I haven't seen it live so I'm not in a position to judge the show itself - but the score is a massive clusterfuck. When Whoopie Goldberg was on Alan Carr last week, he mentioned to Whoopie that he liked Sister Act The Musical because it had actual songs in it, rather than Love Never Dies where 'every-one-sang-in-a-sticcato-fashion-for-three-hours-and-it-made-him-want-to-die'. Whoopie then pointed out that ALW owns the theatre that Sister Act was playing, and Carr backtracked - it was very very funny.
