"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

PETER PAN with Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard was my very first Broadway show. I also saw Ritchard and Anthony Newley in the musical THE ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT, THE SMELL OF THE CROWD--an under-appreciated show. I believe it is still available on Amazon.com. Also mentioned in the commercial was the musical FANNY which starred Ezio Pinza, Walter Slezak, and a very young Florence Henderson who sings beautifully. How about a revival of FANNY, if not on Broadway then at least at ENCORES!? The score, by Harold Rome, is amazing. Then maybe it could transfer to Roundabout. Wishful thinking.
Thanks for posting that old commercial, Cap'n.
