Here's a challenge..

Tony Award-winning Composer and Lyricist good, suicide as subject matter bad...very bad.

[Unknown User]

Hmmm.

Sondheim's PASSION?

My first thought.

[Craig]

Posted: 1/25/04 at 3:12pm

the composer and lyricist are not the same person

Carousel

[Craig]

Posted: 1/25/04 at 7:06pm

nope.. not carousel.. try again

[Unknown User]

Posted: 1/25/04 at 7:11pm

I'm going to guess again...

PRETTYBELLE, Styne and Merrill

And if I'm wrong, I'd like a hint please.

You have to give another hint because Carousel fits into that description.

[Craig]

Posted: 1/25/04 at 7:26pm

Ok.. 2 hints

When I said plot about suicide being bad.. I meant that it was NOT a successful show (big BIG hint)

BB.. You're warm mentioning Styne!

[Unknown User]

That's not the plot.

[Craig]

Posted: 1/25/04 at 8:01pm

Knew you could get it.

Bad subject matter, but the score is great... If you don't have it, I suggest it highly
