DO RE MI questions

Posted: 2/2/09 at 12:06am

I'd like to add some of Wheeler's songs into my audition book, but I really have no idea of the show's plot or Wheeler's relation to the plot. If anyone has the libretto, I can definitely repay the favor, or if someone could give me a brief synopsis I'd be simply delighted.

Thanks.

The John Henry Wheeler character in Do Re Mi is a supporting character. He is a smooth, handsome record executive. The show centers on Hubie Cram and a group of low-level racketeers trying to break into the jukebox industry. Wheeler falls in love with Cram's musical discovery, Tilda Mullen.

As is usual, Smaxie has answered the question succinctly. As I guess you know, Wheeler sings "I Know About Love", the duet
"Fireworks", "Asking For You", and the show's big hit "Make Someone Happy". If you get either the OBCR or the Encores! version, the accompanying booklets give a plot synopsis that gives further detail. Break a leg.

Would you happen to know the dramatic function of "Make Someone Happy?" Or what is the relationship between Wheeler and (insert name I forget here) at this point?
