The local reviews I saw for TWO GENTLEMEN were mixed to negative, perhaps to atone for its beating out FOLLIES for a Tony. In the show's defence, I have to say that most of the current critics would kill OKLAHOMA! if it opened today.
I, too, loved Red Skelton and THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS. My friend Louisa Flaningam, whom I first saw in the national tour of COMPANY singing "Another Hundred People," has nothing but hostile memories working with The Brothers in I LOVE MY WIFE.
