Was No, No, Nanette worth it?

In this fan's opinion...NO WAY!!!

I am sure all of you are well aware of the heated rivalry going on in the ALCS against the Yankees and Red Sox. This has stemmed back all the way to the trade of Babe Ruth to NYY. Since 1918 the Red Sox have been without a world championship. My question...was No, No Nanette worth almost a century of heartache for the Red Sox? The Curse still lives because the Red Sox owner needed money to produce No, No Nanette. $100,000 plus a $300,000 loan for Ruth. I would gladly go back in time to keep Ruth in Boston if it meant the death to this show. No show would be worth the pain Boston has and is suffering. What do ya'll think? How was No, No Nanette? Did the critics like it and how about the B.O.? What is your take?

the 1970s revival of No, No, Nannette was one of the most delightful experiences of my life.

As an avid Mets fan, it doesn't really matter to me. However, I would be more than just thrilled to find out Mike Piazza was the next in line to play Billy Flynn in CHICAGO. (Hey, it's a thought!)

Any musical that is a smash hit, as NANETTE in its original run and the 70's revival, is worth every sacrifice.

If it had been a bomb, then no, it would not have been worth it.

I second Teacheroftheatre feelings about No, No, Nanette! In the twenties there were a number of shows with similar titles like La, La, Lucille and Yes, Yes , Yvette (written by the Gershwins).

Those rumors are not true! Mike told me so himself!

Did any of you NYY fans see the footage? Following the scuffle in the middle of the field Zimmer went around the group to seek out Pedro, who was not participating, on the other side near the Red Sox dugout. As Zimmer got close he cocked his left arm and fist ready to unload. What is Pedro suppose to do? Take the hit? No! Fight back? He's an old man...that wouldn't be the right thing to do. Play matador was the best way for him to handle a 72 year old heavy man sprinting (in that old man way) to him looking for a cheap shot. Yes Pedro got incredibly close with that pitch to the NYY right fielder (who later assulted a Red Sox crewman in the bullpen in the 8th...what do you have to say about that?) but there was no reason for a leader and a coach for that team to run after Pedro to attack him. What would you do? I'm certain you'd defend yourself too. Viva Pedro!!! Here's hoping the Rocket's last scene as a pro ball player is the Red Sox celebrating.
