And people. Remember that awesome vampiresoap opera melodramatic relationship series she's writing? Go read the newest installments: Divergence and Things Fall Apart. Coming up: the story that, back in early April, traumatised my Herbert beyond belief.

Date: 2006-05-24 11:22 am (UTC)Re. Michael Crawford playing the role - he's the reason that the show bombed so horrifically. He didn't want VK to be another Gothic Phantom-like role that would haunt him forever, so he made it into a sickeng comedy pantomime, which completely ignored the spirit of the European productions.
The Broadway audiences went WTF? and wondered why it was so popular in Europe, because it was that badly done. Plus, they depended on lame visual gags and stupid jokes and it was, all in all, a travesty. You can tell Polanski wasn't involved. Something tells me he would have nixxed the rocket-powered coffin and the phallic-shaped sponges from the word go.
