...worked with Lyricists Don Black and Charles Hart on his next musical, Aspects of Love, studied portfolios of photos in search of a female lead for Phantom's April production in Japan, and kept a watchful eye on the Broadway incarnation, which started previews on Saturday. "He monitors every word and orchestrates every aspect of the production," says Black. "He is good at casting, costumes, orchestration, design, marketing. Nothing slips through the net."

Even at Christmas, after a month's exposure, 3 Men easily led the box-office pack. By early this month it will have clambered up the Top Ten list to become 1987's fourth biggest hit. In its wake have come half a dozen newer comedies, most of which are Christmas carols in disguise. It is as if the industry realized that at holiday time comedies need to begin as Scrooge and end up as Santa. They must pretend...
