its pretty good. not the rave Lipton always claimed some good songs but a bit pricey. mostly good as an oddity considering its history.

Despite some clever lyrics, it's musically average-to-mediocre. Editing would have improved it, as frequently what would have been be an amusing three minute song becomes interminable at eight minutes (or longer). And the cast tries very hard, but in the end, you know exactly why the show bombed.

The pluses: Exceptionally lush production and beautiful orchestrations.

Great cast indeed Master, but I'm with you regarding some editing.

An "OK" score, with a truly lush presentation.

I thought it was great . I hear Lipton is pushing to have it restaged. I would pay to see it.

Is Bernadette Peters playing the role of Banjo, the mute? Or am I dreaming this?
