Jeff Hyslop? As in the "Jeff The Mannequin" from Today's Special? o.o

. . . I have no idea, actually. ^^ Was ist? (Please don't reply in German, 'cause I've just exhausted my vocab. ^^)

It is! He appears to have kept himself busy over the years.

I didn't think it was too bad, but I tend to be overly romantic when it comes to this one. I've seen the stage version twice and I have the original London cast soundtrack (with the unequal Michael Crawford! I swear, seeing him in 'Hello Dolly' and then as the Phantom is just surreal). I did think Minnie Driver's Italian accent was a bit too much. I could barely understand her.

Yeah, I had accent issues as well. She was fun, though, and the woman who sang Carlotta did a good job as well.

The thing I never quite got over was seeing Crawford as Hero in the movie of "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum". From that to Phantom is pretty brain-breaking too.

He was also so scrawny in "Hello Dolly!" I couldn't believe it! I thought a stiff breeze would knock him over.
