DR ELMORE did the new book mention the incident from the other book?
No, but he says that Garebian's book is "inadequately annotated for scholastic purposes." It's interesting that Garebian mentions the hairpiece incident since I don't recall reading it anywhere else. My problem with Garebian's "Making of" books is that they pick up all the information he can eaily locate in a lot of poular sources, like Gerald Bordman's books, but he can't form an original opinion or do any in-depth research, also like that fool Bordman. I never liked him and had no respect for hiswork.
Dominic's book cares little about performance anecdotes because his interesr is in the building of the show, the changes in numbers, a true account of its development from letters, contracts, and other ephemera as opposed to the inaccuracies in the published accounts of Alan Jay Lerner, julie Andrews, and others.
