1. So yesterday, there was musical news of awesome FLAIL with 9 to 5. Today, my brain exploded from FAIL. Because news popped up on Playbill about Sir Andrew I'm-Completely-Crazy Lloyd Webber's sequel to Phantom - which is called, in a completely sad and dodgy way, Phantom: Once Upon Another Time. *weeps*

Isn't it just GODAWFUL? It's going to be on Broadway, since Phantom was such a smash and they're hoping for a repeat of the success. But this just sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen, OMFG.

ISN'T THE CHRISTINEBOT THING JUST UTTERLY HORRIFYING!? LIKE, FOR SERIOUS. EVERY LINE IN THAT SYNOPSIS READS LIKE A BAD FANFIC.

SEQUEL OF EPIC EPIC FAIL. I remember you told me about the cat, and I imagined theatre dorks making a shrine to the cat. However, cat has FAILED, HASN'T IT.

There are no words!

The pregnancy does not fail in comparison as much as the autonomonness. Its still pretty... "General Hospitally" [in fail of thinking of a better comparison] but also not that great. I may not watch.

Whose in it do you know?

Wicked is on my iPod waiting for me to find 2 and a bit hours to watch it in. I would in GS tomorrow & then lunch if we were not doing UCASy things for Uni. Bleh.

No idea yet, think the musical is still in workshops and being completed, so no firm cast or anything. Whatever the case, this musical has got to star Julia Murney, Idina Menzel AND Kristin Chenoweth to make me go see it, so. Unlikely.

Yay for Wicked - what day was this video taken? Do you know who the actresses playing Elphaba and Glinda are?

LOL @ PHANTOM SUMMARY, OMG. It totally is a bad fanfic!

Pushing Daisies, hooray. Also Dark Knight, hooray. There was an excellent review in the paper today, so I'll have to actually go see it (can't remember the last time I saw a movie in theaters, fail).

It's the worst synopsis for a musical I have EVER read. I FEAR ITS CREATION, OMG.

And eeee, DARK KNIGHT. Not a PERFECT movie, but darn close. I shall be flailing in short order. All I do other than flail online is watch movies in theatres, LOL - what was the last one you saw?!
