| Oh snap, JCS was cancelled in the US? I saw that show last year and it was brilliant. Really great. I would have seen it again at one of the extra shows they put on, but they completely sold out as well! As for Johnny Rotten being the only decent star in the show, I don't know anything about the US cast so I can't really comment… But I can say that if Johnny Rotten is the highlight of any given thing then that thing is in deep, deep trouble. As for how all of this relates to BooH musical, this is all news to me. I can say that I will be pleasantly surprised if BooH musical does actually happen, tho. > In various places on the internet, i have read comments > from Jim fans who are worried about Michael Cohl producing > Jim's Bat Out Of Hell show because he had to pull the plug > on ALW's JCS tour.
