I remember when that book by Montgomery came out. A bunch of people on a Phantom forum were making scathing comments and then who should pop into the thread but Ms Montgomery herself. She then proceeded to very politely but assertively explain her choices. I'll find the link for you guys later. I might take up this one for kicks.  |

Dear God, that looks frigin' hilarious. But what a waste of paper. Everyone knows that Kay's is the only published fanfic that is worth time and money.
I would avoid this even on a website page, let alone in a proper book form that would cost me money!! Utter craziness... poor old Leroux. Look what you have unknowingly spawned
*Unmasked however looks funny enough to still be enoyable. Like Music of the Night, which in the end has nothing and yet everything to do with POTO.

Maybe ALW has read this.... |

Apparently everyone from Madame Giry to Firmin gets some. (Phanwank.) *jawdrop* Why would you buy a used copy of that book!  |

Argh, I was not connecting ALW with this the way you meant. I thought... I don't know what I thought but it most certainly had nothing to do with him enjoying erotica! i need therapy now. |

I had the dread that if he did read it he'd incorporate it into the musical, but THAT ...
Was.
Just.
Wrong.

No, no, do as you will. No bother to me. Besides, Mar's comment gave me lovely consolation.  |

You do realise that my "just wrong" comment was directed at the thought that involves ALW with erotica. |

@mar: I figured but the alternate interpretation was funnier. @son: Oh good, now I don't look like I was rambling abut ALW and erotic fiction for no apparent reason. |

@ everyone....the image of ALW involved in anything is disturbing..I.E. Sarah Brightman (mental image...ALW and Miss Piggy...
Actually my grandma and i had a fight about SB, she said "she is one of the most gorguoes people with a great voice"...... i brought her down to earth again.......=)))))

I've had a similar argument with my dad. Why is it that people can't hear that she sings straight out of her nose!!!

Hah!
The fans win again! I told you lot to stay hopeful, that he might've ditched Forsyth completely!
Brownie points for unwinding! |

At least Ben Elton is a decent writer, who can use the English language properly.

All I can say is: THANK f k! I'm definitely relieved by that; now it's got a mediocre chance. The title is still shithouse but honestly, hearing Forsyth has been booted out is music to my ears. ... Well, sort of ... you know what I mean. Reading that article has further convinced me that Forsyth is a git. |

The Phanwankers are expelling the contents of their stomachs again. One comment the article received this morning: "BEN ELTON WHYYYYYY??? I LIKE BEN ELTON'S OTHER WORK WHY MUST HE SULLY HIMSELF WITH THIS" |

Double D= ALW just previewed the first act at Sydmonton. Bad manners as it is, someone went and blabbed. This thread at Broadway World has some details. I think you'll see what's got me so upset within a few sentences. ( Here's the article that says he's premiered Act 1 if you can be bothered.) |
