I thought Lloyd Webber's cat was writing the lyrics...?

That's basically how I feel about everything to do with this sequel.

Rice's lyrics will bring down Webber's score.

Otto was trying to tell you something, Lord ALW THE PLOT THICKENS!

Leave well enough alone.

Glenn Slater, lyricist for Menken's new Mermaid, is the new lyricist for Webber. Slater is now in London doing workshop of Sister Act and then working with Webber on Phantom II.

What a merry-go-round!

Maybe they can do a line each?

Better yet, ALW should try that up-and-coming lyricist, Stephen Sondheim!

I feel like sending ALW a box of cats, that way they can all run across his keyboard and delete this horrible idea again!

The idea for a sequel is lame, but I at least want to hear the score. The Woman in White was a flop but at least we got some good music out of it.

I'll take bets now on how many good songs there will be and where they will be placed.

There's good odds for a decent ballad halfway through the second act.
