Especially if its being spent on something that wasn't necessary. One million pounds being spent on a giant animatronic bat that flys and spits fire doesn't sound as much to me because it will attract people and can be seen as a reasonable investment. BTW, I like your use of the word "woot". Also, I have asked around and some people think you may be wrong about "Elisabeth". It is the most successful German show worldwide but surely "Tanz" has had more success in the German language countries of Germany and Austria. Put "Tanz Der Vampires" into Google and you will get many more results than you do for "Elisabeth". Although I could be wrong and I thank you for introducing me to something that sounds very interesting. At the end of the day, it sounds to me like both "Elisabeth" and "Tanz" have enjoyed great success (apart from Broadway - "Elisabeth" would have probably met the same fate had it tried to open there). And its like, does it really matter which musical has sold more West End tickets, "Cats" or "Phantom"? Also, I probably forgot when you posted before because I had never heard of "Elisabeth". Most people in the UK have never heard of "Tanz" (which is odd). However, you finally got through to my thick skull and I am now fully aware of the musical "Elisabeth". I hope to see it one day. I understand that it is now touring Germany and Austria. | |
