Posted: 3/11/14 at 3:20pmWhen I saw Love Story in London, it was excellent, I know afterwards Love Story was don in Philadelphia, but didn't see anything on here on it, I always thought this would work well off Broadway.

Love Story was tried and the story is just too slight. It was written and mounted first in the UK and didn't work. It was done at the Walnut Street in Phila a couple of seasons ago. It was a nice concept: a large airy white conservatory with props brought on by the players, and utilizing a string sextet and a piano.
However the story just won't sustain involvement. There is no 'oomph' for lack of a better word.
An Affair to Remember sounds pretty much the same.
[One of the basic 'rules' of adapting a property to the stage, whether as a play or musical: can we tell the same story better?]

Posted: 3/11/14 at 7:45pmAN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER could make a good musical because the woman (the Deborah Kerr character) is a singer and nightclub performer!

Posted: 3/11/14 at 8:04pmbut those kind of numbers don't do much for the plot.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
