| User ReviewChristopher BA talented entertainer with the heart of the grinch, cannot fathom anything but the fame which success brings. Unfortunately his success comes from manipulating others to perform to the levels which he cannot - due to a crippled leg. This makes all around him lonely, bitter, or resentful... yet the show must go on. Watch for Butterworth to steal a few scenes. |
