Of the other shows, Fifty Million Frenchmen is the rarity. It has a wonderful Cole Porter score and even an interesting
book. It's very loosely structured, almost a revue, but it's very funny. (Sample joke: MOTHER: Do you know my
daughter, May? WILLIAM GAXTON: No, but thanks for the tip.) You can see Iolanthe any time, and Candide is
really beyond the resources of this company. |
