    None of the other people working on it had any idea what or why they were making it. When they would ask ALW questions about the plot he would just say “It’s about Cats” as if that answered the question

      To be fair – it is about cats. It’s not like it’s about dogs. Or trains. Or horribly disfigured men who lurk under the Paris Opera House. Or the Son of God.

          are you just begging me to correct that? Because when someone says “That’s what you say” in the context of “the son of god” I just want to burst into the confrontation with Caiaphas. (Not that I know it all by heart – that would just be worrying and not of the natural order).

              Maybe later. Right now I am bursting into “loathing” from Wicked on another thread, so – you know – I’ll have to get back to you :)

                Assuming you mean Wicked as in the stage play. Fantastic show, but my most vivid memory of it was as the applause died down and the lights came up at the end of Act 1, when my son-in-law said much too loudly, “That was dope!” It seemed like his voice resounded through the theater.

                  Can’t remember the year, but my most beloved and I went to see it when Lee Mead was Fiyero.

                  At one point he swung in on a rope, land and looked around in such a “Aren’t I just the sexiest thing you’ve ever seen?” way the entire audience just burst into spontaneous applause – I am not sure he was expecting it because the cast just stared at us like we were mental. But the original look on his face (the “tadaaaaaaaaa!” expression) was the funniest thing you have ever seen.
