Andrew Llloyd Webber is on Piers Morgan RIGHT NOW.... Piers actually brought it up first but Anderew said Michael wanted to play The Phantom (of the opera) in the movie....then he went on and said Sammie Davis wanted to play it before...years before he died.
Will have to wait until tomorrow for the full transcript online however...but interesting!
Edited to add...while this is news to me seems it is old news...perhaps though it did not get enough "exposure" and therefore it is important to the hoax...see this article below dated June 27th 2009
