Albin, you must be smoking the drapes again, because never in my wildest dreams would I think of inviting you to Vegas with me. Remember, I am a gentleman of elegance and taste.

Phantom 05, I totally agree with you! ALW & Jim Steinman have to be the best composers! lol Phantom and Dance of the Vampires are the best shows!!

#33Who to pick!
Posted: 5/30/03 at 12:15am

I'll just pick two of the newer composers of recent years: Jason Robert Brown and William Finn.

If I was going to pick my favorite in theatre history I'd go batty. Jerry Herman, Sondheim, Kander and Ebb...

On a side note - I wish we all could have found out what Jonathan Larson had in store had he lived longer than his brief 35 years.
