Dalton McGuinty to play Gríma Wormtonque

While 8 of every 10 Broadway shows fail to earn back their money, Toronto tourism officials argued that the cost of the provincial government not investing $2.5 million on the musical Lord of the Rings might be higher.

"We realized in the last couple of years that if you don't have new and exciting things to do, people go somewhere else," Mr. Allen said. "They want an experience they can't find anywhere else."

For my share of the money I expect to see Dalton McGuinty to step up and play Gríma Wormtonque - who better for the role! The resemblance is uncanny!
