     She also probably (1) simply ripped off the
London Times article (same angle) and (2) was
stupid enough to review it as a musical instead
of a concert with some of the trappings of both
film and stage performances. "The answers you get
depend on the questions you ask." In this case,
the mainstream media apparently pre-decided that
this would be a stale rehash and are struggling
gamely to make the facts fit their preconceptions.
I suspect I can round up 150,000 people to 
disagree.
