Yup, R.U.G used to know how to market their shows. They haven't done a great job after Phantom though. All of his shows have lost money, including Sunset Boulevard (he lost tons of money there). Woman in White isn't doing that great either.

I saw Sunset Blvd. in both NY and Denver (first national tour opened here) and enjoyed it.
Woman in White is a real yawner -- at least it was in London.
A couple of other RUG losers were Aspects of Love (NY & Denver) and Whistle Down the Wind (London).
I like Sir Andrew, and both of those shows had a couple of good songs, but overall they were pretty bland. Our son would call most of his stuff "Juke Box Musicals."
BUT, I just saw on the Wicked webpage that Eden Espinosa is playing Elphiba now. She was Idina's understudy for a while, but then had the lead in Brooklyn, The Musical which premiered here in Denver before going on to, and closing last summer on Broadway. She is absolutely sensational -- probably has a better voice than Idina -- at least in my opinion!
