Excuse me, I can't help pointing out that a show mentioned in this thread is "Merrily We ROLL Along." Not "Row" along.

Although when you think about it, that show really was about people facing away from the direction in which the vehicle is moving....

Yes, MB, Debbie Shapiro was in it. Nicole Fosse was, too! I wish I'd seen it more than once. I had no idea back then that it was a piece rarely produced. Too bad. Weill and Lerner, an interesting combination.

How bout Dance of the Vampires? That was a massive flop.

Gasp! I don't think I would want to try to tackle Dance of the Vampires in a small black box space hahaha. Althought it would be fun to try.

All these suggestions are terrific, I need to look for the scripts and choose soon. Does anyone know where I might be able to find Lolita, My Love?

The only way to help Anyone Can Whistle is to attack Arthur Laurents with a blunt object and then rewrite the book yourself.

Sumofallthings, from what I understand, a blunt object would not be any good. Arthur Laurents would slice you to pieces. I hear he could be shall we say, forceful?

I'd fight to the death to rewrite that book...

I say FLAHOOLEY. It is all about Capitalism and Comercialism...subjects still a part of our lives today. The only thing kinda out of date is that the show is about a U.S. company that manufactures toys...and, as we all know, the U.S. doesn't really manufacture much these day- relative to the rest of the world.
