...little late. We went to the deli across the street for our usual breakfast and arrived at the site around noon. We promised our dad we'd make a brief appearance at the cardio tennis media rollout. There was a huge tent with lots of reporters and bands. We did a few sound bites, and then met our dad who briefed us before we did our usual two-minute dog and pony show-which consists of explaining how we practice, the workouts we use, etc. All of these are high energy drills set to music.

Meanwhile, the producers of the stage show, who were overseeing its 22-country rollout, worried about killing theater trade if the film was bad. When Lloyd Webber's Evita barely turned a profit in 1996, Phantom seemed doomed...

But it's not all smooth sailing: shares in U.K. cell-phone operator Virgin Mobile dipped below their July offer price; and at the rollout of Virgin Trains' latest high-speed service in Britain , two of the $20 million trains were temporarily taken out of service on opening day. Within a new 53-strong fleet, "you're going to get the occasional problem," says Branson. No sign yet of this tycoon slowing down. Tough Competition...
