There were, regrettably, only 26 episodes of Stage 67. Even though some of the musicals appearing there may not have been the most satisfying, they were guilty pleasures that I, along with you, enjoy to this day! I'm also a big fan of "Olympus 7-0000," which starred Donald O'Connor as Hermes, Eddie Foy, Jr. as the football coach, and Larry Blyden and Phyllis Newman as the central couple. Even Broadway Joe Namath was in the cast! And there were some enjoyable numbers like "The Three of Us" and "Better Things to Do." Even though Richard Adler never again met with his early success (after the tragic loss of writing partner Jerry Ross), I find many of his later solo works fine, if not flawed. I especially admire the score to "Kwamina," whose subject matter and tribal-inspired rhythms may have been well before its time.
