    Is anyone in musical theatre more overrated then Andrew Lloyd Webber? I know Phantom is a staple, but everything else seems to die off pretty quickly, even his Phantom Sequel.

    My dad, I’m sure shamelessly stolen, told me a joke of Andrew Lloyd Webber walking into a Burger King and asking for 2 Whoppers and the server replied “Your Musicals are good and your a handsome man”. What can I say, it made me laugh as a kid. 

     

    I'm knicking that Lloyd Webber joke. Top notch my man.

    I'm very much the same. My mum absolutely adores West Side Story and things around that time, plus I remember she took me to a few musicals when I was younger. I don't remember much about them apart from Starlight Express which was such a mental experience. It's some fond memories but nothing that I've really got into myself over the years.

     "Starlight Express" is just absolute mentalness. Theme is alright though. It would be really shit for anybody not into a bit of Lloyd-Webber.

    Real shame, this. Groundbreaking band both musically and socially. Jimmy put out a nice tweet. 

     

    I often wondered why Jimmy Somerville left the band for "The Communards". Bronski Beat still released some decent songs, with a new singer, like "Hit that Perfect Beat" and Eartha Kitt & Bronski Beat with "Cha Cha Heels", which is below..

    Nothing from the 90s was better than McAlmont & Butler's classic Yes. And if you come back at me, we'll have a right sort out in here. And you can pair up if you like. And you can pick someone else to help you. And you can bring your fucking dinner. Because by the time I'm done with you, you'll need it.

    Yes, brilliant song. Sad after doing "Yes" and a cover of "Diamonds are Forever" that David McAlmont's career, as far as I'm aware, fizzled out. What a singer.
