It sounds like DOTV Broadway actually had a lot going for it. Some of the pictures of the sets look really cool. I have read early versions of the script and at first it was actually very tight. There are some very interesting You Tube clips. Like Michael Crawford being lowered to the stage in a flashing coffin. And of course Jim's music is never dull. What a shame that it just didn't work as a whole. These things happen. Even to ALW.
