No, it isn't. However, it is in Billy Elliot the musical.

The version of the show that went to Broadway in 2002 premiered at the La Jolla Playhouse.

I just looked it up. It seems to be as follows:

Chorus and intro:

E, B, C#m, B, A, E, A, B

The part after the intro, before the verse:

E, G, A, B

Verse part 1:

E, A

Verse Part 2:

C#m, G#

Then G#, A, B

G# A B

(that tune, goes like this)

And in the final chorus, shift everything up a fret (or semitone) so that it is played in F.

I just figured it out because my school is doing it, and its easier to remember songs when you learn guitar to them as well, it seems haha

From those chords, you should be able to work the other bits out, but if you have trouble, just email me: seandelaney@live.com.au

Good luck,

There is no movie of yet for Love Never Dies.

Cats premiered in the West End at the New London Theatre on May 11, 1981.

I believe it might have been Anything Goes. The lead role was a stock broker and it was released around that time.

The book of a Broadway show its its script or libretto.

It takes place in Venice, Italy.

He is both a pet cat, because you can pet it, and a stray cat because you can stray it. :)

Porgy and Bess

Amalia is the female lead. She exchanges letters with a man she met through personal ads without realizing that it is actually her bickersome coworker that is behind the sweet letters she receives.

There really is no correct side to exit a stage from. Really, it's whatever the director/blocking says it is. An actor can exit stage-left or right. Although sometimes, if the situation dictates, an entrance or exit can be made through the House (audience). I recently did a production of Macbeth and we had the opening fight sequence involve macbeth's soldiers enter by charging down the aisles swords bared as they leaped into our pit and on-stage. After the battle, in the background during dialogue, we had survivors drag the dead off-stage (left and right). An exit/entrance is whatever the director wants it to be. It can be traditional (left or right) or creative (through the audience). There's no right or wrong way to do it.

The theatre product is still touring across many countries. There is a reasonabile assumption that it will still be showing in this time frame

Rent premiered January 25, 1996 at New York Theatre Workshop. It received enthusiastic reviews. It soon moved on to Broadway, winning multiple Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Originally opening Off-Broadway in October of 1967, the rock musical's nude scene, it's irreverence for the American flag, the profanity and the treatment of sexuality, in addition to it's depiction of the usage of illegal drugs, instigated a lot of commentary and controversy. Several of it's songs became peace movement anthems.
