| He won't take a rocket scientist that you should go to people like Karen Brady and pitch the idea of backing the BOOH musical to a certain degree. I am prepared to contact these people if financial backing is the issue with BOOH musical? I do this type of job for heads of the largest High Tech companies in the world - don't see it a big problem for others. But I will only do it if we get rid of the Peter Pan Juxtapostion concept because it confuses the message. > I really love the song "Not Allowed To Love" that Jim > wrote for the "Batman" musical.
