No Rock And Roll Fun

TAKING A CONSOLING SWIG FROM THE TEEHEE MUG: Mike Read, who seems to spend his entire life trying to find something for history to say about him than "the guy who got upset about Frankie Goes To Hollywood on radio one", has broken a West End record. His musical based on the life of Oscar Wilde closed after just one performance. The musical - called, erm, Oscar Wilde the Musical, opened on Tuesday at London's Shaw Theatre, and promptly closed. The Telegraph review of the event reckoned it was "hard to feel anything other than incredulous contempt" for the work.

We bet Blue Tulip Read had bought tickets for the entire run, as well.
