Well, I will have to join Jason and Matt (Did I miss anyone else?) in not being able to contribute to the Topic of the Day. I am afraid I am not familiar with any foreign musicals, at least, not ones that haven’t, also, played the States.
Jason, your phone call really doesn’t surprise me, nor does Matt’s ex. I was sitting around with three actors not long ago, all of whom do mostly musical theater. At one point, I said I thought that the score of TITANIC was one of the best in years. One of my friends rolled her eyes and said, “Oh God, I can’t stand that Celine Dion song.” I said, “No, not the movie, the musical.” And at the exact same time, all three of them looked at me and said (almost in unison), “They made a musical out of the movie, TITANIC???”
