"Jekyll & Hyde", "The Scarlet Pimpernel", "The Civil War" and now "Dracula" are all available for community theatre companies to perform. "Jekyll & Hyde", "The Civil War" and "Dracula" are available through MTI and "The Scarlet Pimpernel" is available through Tams-Witmark, Inc. In Australia, all of these shows have only been performed by community theatres or as concerts. In the West End, "Jekyll & Hyde" has only been professionally produced by Bill Kenwright and it never made the West End, but perhaps the new tour will.

I would say "Jekyll & Hyde" for that is the most popular. But "The Scarlet Pimpernel" is the strongest. > > How about Frank in the Australian market? How is he doing > there? We know about his work and his achievements but the closest we've come to mounting any major productions was "Jekyll & Hyde" in the 1990s and that was cancelled (The Promo CD release is very rare.) > > > > Also, what does Frank have to say about "Excalibur"?

That's an interesting quote. But I wonder if Frank wanted that information to be known. I don't know. > > > > > And as of last night, I am now Administrator :-) > > > > > > Oh.

I was hoping I'd get to sing there too (but I'd be very nervous...) And thank you again! | |
