New Poll - What's the Buzz?
Wed, 26 Nov 2003, 08:51 pmLogged in to see what new poll suggestions had been made, and surprise surprise, in answer to the one on Sondheim we now have one for Lloyd-Webber.
I've edited this one slightly to include a category for those who don't care. (Happy, Greg?)

LOL!!! Thanks Andrew.
By the way, its now called "By Jeeves" and is now a huge success. Amazing what happens when you re-write something. "The Beautiful Game" wasn't a flop, it just closed early - it was around Sept 11 which killed theatre not just on Broadway but in the West End too, because noone wanted to travel with the risk of being slammed into a building. Anyhoo....
"Requiem" isn't a musical Andrew - it is a mass (church music for anyone who doesn't know).
"The Beautiful Game" is Lloyd Webber's latest show, released in 2000 - which is why not many people here would have heard of it seeings it hasn't been, nor is likely to come here. Its facade is about Irish soccer players but delves quite deeply into the Catholic vs Protestant conflict and the IRA. Its not a bad show (I've seen it), but some of the music is really awful and some lyrics are REALLY naff. Saying that, have you ever heard the phrase "premature ejaculation" in a Lloyd Webber show before??!
For anyone who cares, he's currently writing a musical based on Wilkie Collins' novel "The Woman in White".
Dah dah! Any more questions BAKER?!
