Sometimes a star that's just going over the hill. At the moment Kathleen Turner is in a play and Lindsay Lohan is rehearsing for one. And don't forget the writers make a lot more money in the theatre - the writers of the stage versions of Mary Poppins and other shows which opened in multi cities world wide (MAMA MIA) were making a million a WEEK. Billy Elliot has been on for years here.ChrisSullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331410174700621441noreply@blogger.com
