Mea Culpa. I suppose I simply assume that all modern musicals are written
by Andrew Lloyd Weber. I gave up on musicals after Oliver, largely because
of ALW (who steals many of his themes from legitimate dead white European
composers and them does nothing good with them).

Subject: [tips] Crying ovef Susan Boyle--oops
I replied to Paul Okami's comment on Susan Boyle's performance, saying
that Andrew Lloyd Weber doesn't quite do it for him.
I said "On the other hand, I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss the
contribution of ALW. Whatever else you might say about his music, it's
certainly evocative."
But I dream a dream" isn't ALW's. It's from Les Miserables, by French
composer Claude-Michel Schönberg with a libretto by Alain Boublil.
Perhaps that's why people cried. :-)
