Accuracy constrains me to report that the dippy stage musical version 
doesn't either - it has two foax called Boublil and Scheonberg, I 
believe, who are (IMHO) marginally better musical theater writers 
than ALW. Marginally is the important word. All three of course 
shrivel up and die when placed in the radiant light emanating from
Stephen Sondheim.
