Cats was probably his riskiest venture yet, and it paid off big time, and YES it is the point. Where you get 200 investors from? sounds like utter bullshit to me as Cameron Mackintosh and RUG produced the show.
I think what ALW has achieved is more than enough success for anyone. If people are going to constantly gauge what he's done since Phantom then yeah, his resume is gonna look pretty shit on statistics alone.
POTO2 win or lose ALW is still a very very rich man.
