...while last year, it appeared that Brightman might not be allowed to repeat her role in New York. Actors' Equity objected to her being cast in the Broadway production, rather than an American actress, on the ground that Brightman was not an international star. Lloyd Webber was furious.

Not only does she now have her own three children living with her, she has also taken in Pauline, who has five kids and a pregnant German shepherd. Chaos, at least. And lurking about Pauline are a violent estranged husband and a homicidal ex-husband. This, furthermore, is not the book's Act II, in which the plot is supposed to get complicated; it is Act III, when everything is supposed...
