Nah, Jim has been like that (apparently) since before the Meat Loaf days. I was told that he once used to tell the best stories about his then-boss Joseph Papp at the New York Shakespeare Festival. I wonder what they were... lol

The only thing I\'m doubtful about is that I\'ve never heard of a theatre being especially built for a show. This is not some kind of $15 million here, this will probably be like \"Titanic\". I wouldn\'t be surprised!
Then again, something in me tells me it\'s Cirque Du Soleil doing it in a tent. I haven\'t been able to find any information on \"Frances and Elva\"

It happens in movies and theatre all the time. Jim\'s been through enough shit this decade, I hope it bloody well happens.
