The devil took the hindmost with this confusing sorta-sequel to everyone's favorite "opera." Join Alex and Daisha as they strap into this carnival ride of a musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Love Never Dies." The Broadway Babies are up to their usual shenanigans with the additional tasks of detangling this confusing plot, comparing the sequel to "Phantom of the Opera," and giving their final verdict on the 2012 Australian production. Is this musical a dud, or does it need one more new production team in the mix? Cast recording: Amazon | Spotify | Apple Music Video recording: BroadwayHD | Amazon Songs: "Til I Hear You Sing," performed by Ben Lewis "Beneath a Moonless Sky," by Ben Lewis and Anna O'Byrne "Dear Old Friend," by Anna O'Byrne, Simon Gleeson, Sharon Millerchip and Maria Mercedes "Love Never Dies," by Anna O'Byrne Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Glenn Slater and Charles Hart Produced by The Really Useful Group Ltd., under exclusive license to Polydor Limited to release. Show Notes: A story of the show for NPR from before it debuted in London. Could "Love Never Dies" come to Broadway? Because the tour did well? Let's guess! ALW and The Wizard of Oz ... as he talks to the New York Times about why he thinks the show didn't go well and what he planned next in 2012 (aka a puff piece). The show's 'World Tour' website seems pretty dry...but you can get on the waitlist! "Like the Phantom himself, this new show lives in anguish, yearning to reveal itself and be loved." Oh boy... ALW loves having popular singers do singles of his big songs. Barbra, this ain't. Who is your fave Christine? Sierra and ALW performing the title song!

New digital currencies will have a profound impact on our concept of money, the financial system and the broader economy, says a top regulatory lawyer. “No matter what you think of bitcoin, it’s an absolutely valid demonstration that it’s possible for something to be money without having anything to do with states or governments,” says Simon Gleeson, a partner at law firm Clifford Chance. Gleeson is one of the world's leading experts in the regulation of financial services and banking. During the podcast, Gleeson discusses: the legal concept of money the difference between money as a unit of account and money as a legal claim against a deposit institution the history of private currencies the impact of new digital currencies on banks and payments the structural changes in the financial system and challenges for policymakers Facebook's Libra project and inefficiencies in global payments oustanding legal challenges for those dealing in older and newer versions of money
In 1983, something was happening in the Western states – the birth of a training course focused entirely on the Musical Theatre. There was no music theatre education in the country, and after starting the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts, Dr Geoff Gibbs made the creation of the course his next goal.For nearly 20 years, Denis Follington was on the staff of this much sought Musical Theatre BA at WAAPA. The course has graduated students including Meow Meow, Eddie Perfect, Lisa McCune, Dean Bryant, Lucy Durack, Rodney Dobson, Carmel Dean and Simon Gleeson. In 1997, he took the helm and steered the course for another 3 years as Head of the department.The course garnered a national reputation for producing graduates who were prepared, focused, knowledgable and dependable. WAAPA graduates walked into the country’s commercial musicals – and proved themselves adept at television and plays too. Impressed with the success of the course at WAAPA, he was lured by Lasalle College of the Arts in Singapore to build a Music Theatre course of their own, attracting students from around the world.STAGES spoke to Denis about the essentials of such an education, the history of the course at WAAPA and his first cast recording of a Broadway show.
