Today I finally received my Combo Fiasco CD. Combo Fiasco in an Australian cabaret act (who just finished a tour of the US) made up of Sharon Millerchip, Shaun Murphy, and Tony McGill. They met during the original Australian company of Phantom. Anyway, on their debut CD "Here" they have an 8 minute version of Phantom called "Eric of the Opera" (yes, spelled that way). I have
never laughed harder!! It's absolutely hilarious! The CD has been released in the US and all of the usual suspects (Music Blvd, CD Now, etc..) carry it but might have to backorder it. (It took
a month for me to receive it.)

Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue
Yes, fear I am never going to loose him, the Phantom also was in Florida. In the flyer of Universal studio's the announced that the POTO would appear in Beetlejuise's graveyard revue, a rockshow with the greatest monsters from the Universal history in a fashionable outfit.
The phantom was introduced en came on stage in black tuxedo, cape en a white mask (like Lon Chaney) He was changed by Beetlejuice to become more modern. Whaaaaaaaaaaa!!! I had never been so frightened.... There he was: black pants, bright purple rock and roll jacket, a bright mask and very blond hair and he started to sing "Great Balls of Fire" Aaargh! I hoped for a moment that the heat made me sea things that weren't there, but my husband also saw it.
I like this music but the combination of this music and a fashion Phantom was to much for my nerves I am sure that if the "real" Phantom had seen this he would not only had dropped the Chandeliers, but had caused the hole theatre to collapse. So I was glad he was not there. Although,........... with the Phantom you never know for sure!.
