Are you only interested in picking bones, or is there something you wish to say?
I misspoke: the lyricist of Masada has written one musical which has never played New York. If somebody here has seen Hot Shoe Shuffle, I'd love to hear about it.
Stephen Schwartz, in the 1980's, had one musical on Broadway (Rags) after his 1970's musicals ran up more performances than anyone else's in New York. I think that's a shame. Guess others disagree.
Working ran on Broadway. Der Brucer remembers seeing it there. It is listed as such on the OCR, for which BK supervised the CD reissue, and it is included in Steven Suskin's book
More Opening Nights on Broadway, pages 982-986.
The problem, Noel, is that you misspeak so constantly, and that the rest of us have to step in and correct your mistakes.
Recently, you gave a list of composers and lyricists who, other than Tessori, have not had their work produced on Broadway or much of anyplace else, bemoaning how they are not getting the attention that Brown, Guittel, LaChuisa and Larson have received. Now, you're knocking another lyricist because he has
not been on Broadway (or New York City) as yet. You can't have it both ways, Noel! People who are not in your circle of friends deserve success, too.
The touring production of
Hot Shoe Shuffle is a worthy credit; that Goldsmith's work on
Masada with Levy and Berenbeim will be playing at a major regional theater such as Chicago's Ford Center for the Performing Arts is another worthy credit. Maybe it
won't get to Broadway, but instead receive productions in regional theaters nationwide, possibly worldwide. I certainly hope so; the project sounds interesting, and I'd like to see it.
