Theater Talk: Librettos and Masterpieces of The American Musical

1776 (book by Peter Stone) is so well written that there is a nearly half-hour stretch with NO songs, yet is absolutely riveting.

It’s a shame these books are out of print. These books need to be in the Library of Congress. The only book that was NOT in this set, and I’m surprised, is Hello Dolly! It’s possibly one of the finest and most crucial and dominated the amount of Tonys before The Producers.

Show needs more sophistication, I agree. Too much gussssh.

As of today, there are 19 musicals on Bwy and 4 plays. (Mar 31, 2015) ~~ 2, at most, are worth seeing - of the caboodle. None of the musicals is worth more than a $25 ticket. I likka yr show, but you promote "mediocrity." Dare you ever get --- Uh, CRITICAL ???
