It's always a great day when I put on Howard Stern driving into the office to find out Gilbert is coming in to sit in on the news. Maybe WDI can switch out Iago with a vampire bat and Gilbert can do the voice-over as Dracula Godfried.

I remember the first time I saw the UNM, I was a cast member and I could not beleive the way they put down the old show. My second issue is that the beautiful Polynesian Luau section is gone, the flowers are hardly used. I loved that part of the original. I was ready to embrace the new version hoping we would see something cool out of those flowers...but they come out at the end for like 30 seconds. I like the main theme of UNM , I love what Iago says as your leaving the show. But its not a worthy trade from the beautiful music in the original. I even loved the Offenbach section...it was so serene and peaceful. My opinion is they couldve kept the same music and improved the visuals.
