| | Something Old, Nothing New: Things That Suck: The Lyrics of Leslie Bricusse |
 | | Leslie Bricusse should be roasted on a spit and eaten by cannibals as a warning to all bad lyricists." Something like that, anyway. |
 | | When Victor/Victoria and then Jekyll and Hyde (also with lyrics by Bricusse, and music by Frank Wildhorn, who was for about 30 seconds considered to have the potential to be a new Andrew Lloyd Webber), Bricusse became a byword in musical-theatre discussion groups for bad lyric writing. |
 | | By the time Bricusse reached his apogee, nay, apex, verily, his acme as a bad lyricist, in the '90s, he was still dealing in cliches, and still couldn't say anything in a subtle or interesting way. |
