Two weeks ago, James Corden got to be part of the touring production of Phantom of the Opera and he thought he would be the lead. He was wrong, he was just a bit player in the background. Well, he found a way to make it so he is the Phantom. How? Doing a street version of the musical. That’s right, he took it to the streets of the Fairfax District and entertained people in their cars as they were stopped at a red light. Had he done that on Broadway, he would’ve been dead by the first note because NYers don’t do well when someone causes them even more traffic than they already deal with. Luckily for him LAers are much nicer and let him perform until the light turned green.
Now that he has done Grease and Phantom on the street, maybe next time he will do 42nd Street? Seems logical, right?
