| Isn't Tanz the most successful or second most successful show in continental European history? Is it between Tanz and Elizabeth? But yes. Its massively successful and Jim fans shouldn't worry too much about not having Phantom when they have Tanz. I know people who speak no German but really enjoyed the show. There is still a chance that it might make it to the West End. Obviously DOTV Broadway did not do very well but I have heard fans talking like that show has nothing to do with Tanz. > It's a fascinating question. I'm not really sure what > would have happened.
