The
Phantom of the Opera
With some of the most lavish sets, costumes and special effects ever to have been created for the stage, Andrew Lloyd Webber's THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA directed by Harold Prince traces the tragic love story of a beautiful opera singer and a young composer shamed by his physical appearance into a shadowy existence beneath the majestic Paris Opera House. Adapted from Gaston Leroux's classic novel of mystery and suspense, this award-winning musical has woven its magical spell over standing room audiences in more than 90 cities worldwide.

Dave
Gorman's Googlewhack! Adventure
Perhaps you’ve
heard of a Googlewhack. If not, it’s a
pair of otherwise unconnected words
that, when entered into the Google
search engine returns with a single
website hit in the whole world wide
web. The owner of the website is also
a Googlewhack.
Googlewhacks are
not easy to find, but it’s easy to
waste plenty of time looking for them
— as Dave Gorman well knows. But he
also gathered a hilarious set of
stories about the people and exploits
he encountered along the way. The
truth becomes unbelievable as Gorman
darts around the stage luring you into
his outlandish world, tale by tale.
