Good morning, all! I have an early trip to Toyland this morning. We're are nearly finished with Volume One of the full score. I spent a great deal of the day yesterday rewriting my notes on the new edition and I still have yet to write detailed blurbs on the two different Finales to Acts One and Two for the original production and the stock-amateur package. I've so far, on every attempt, painted myself into a corner, knowing what I want to say but clearly not saying it!
I'm having the same problem with the LADY IN THE DARK book that I had with HOW SONDHEIM GOT HIS SOUND: musicologists with no practical theatre background trying to convey theatrical history and production information about the people surrounding the main person they're interested in, namely Kurt Weill and Stephen Sondheim. I'm enjoying the book, but I keep thinking about missing links.
