Posted: 9/16/08 at 11:01amI saw the original with Tommy Steele and would not want to see it again. It is a pleasant show, but not really memorable.

Its so dated and not a very good show
The recent UK Tour proved that it was well past its sell by date

Posted: 9/16/08 at 11:10amI just saw a very good production at Goodspeed. I could see it as an Encores production but not Broadway.

The 'star' of the original Broadway production was choreographer Onna White. Tommy Steele was onstage and charmed the whole audience, but it took Onna's work to put the show across and made it memorable.
One of Onna's trademark staging ideas was a large number of people doing the same thing. Ergo, there has to be a large dancing chorus, at least 6 and 6, but preferably more.
Unless a new production has a choreographer of equal muscle, the show will lay an egg.
