We have to be phenomenal. When people leave this show, when people leave my show, I want them to say, “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. Go. Go. I’ve never seen nothing like this. Go. It’s amazing. He’s the greatest entertainer in the world. I’m taking that money, a million children, children’s hospital, the biggest in the world, Michael Jackson’s Children’s Hospital.
Walgren says there is more on the recording, and promises the entire thing will be played later in the trial.
Andrew Lloyd Webber: 'Michael Jackson wanted to appear in Phantom of the Opera'Michael Jackson was interested in starring in a film version of the Phantom stage musical, says Lord Lloyd WebberGerard Butler, right, played the lead part in Joel Schumacher's 2004 film adaptation 11:29PM BST 27 Jun 2009The first person to call me to say Michael Jackson had died was my 17-year-old son. I had an awful feeling that one should almost have seen it coming. After the sadness came the disappointment that I was never going to see him again.I first met Michael when he came to see Phantom of the Opera in New York when we'd just opened in 1988. He was clearly interested in the piece. He saw it several times and used to come backstage, often without the entourage that followed him around in later life.The story got to him. I think he had a connection with the lonely, tortured musician. He found the idea of somebody working through music and having a girl as a muse very intriguing – and he loved that there was illusion in the show.Michael became interested in playing The Phantom himself, in a movie version of the show. We talked about it a lot, but we'd only just opened and, at the time, I felt that it was too early for it to become a film. I felt his interest in Phantom was because he was interested in doing something theatrical himself.He was a highly theatrical animal. I remember him saying to me that he'd seen Cats and how happy he was that dance was making a comeback in the theatre. He certainly talked about theatre a lot, and when he was last in London, he went to see Oliver!. Of course, he was a great showman himself, but he found the whole stagecraft of musicals extraordinary.
I have a curious thought.....when I listen to this recording through headphones, it's very clear the person hit the "s" sound harder......very clear. I have been around speech therapy for years......for someone who has any speech impediment/slurred speech etc, the "s" sound is the most difficult to produce......Also at :44 you hear the distinct warning chirp sound (means low battery/time to replace it) of a home smoke alarm. I don't buy it........Blessings
My friend and I were talking a few minutes ago about the recording and she told me that when her mother came out of it after her surgery she was all over the place when talking. Does anyone else think that it's weird that if MJ was coming out of being in a drugged up sleep that he was that coherent to make a full complete thought?
