| Thanks to a very nice box office man at the Morosco Theatre, I was able to change my ticket for In Praise of Love to another date when I told him that I'd just heard that Good News was closing that night, and I so wanted to see it. Went over to the St. James and bought a ticket for the closing, which was two weeks after the official opening. It wasn't a bad show at all, thanks especially to a terrific chorus of singers and dancers. I remember that Alice Faye looked uncomfortable at times and seemed to be pushed around the stage by some of the chorus. Gene Nelson had some line troubles, though I don't think he had been in the role for too long, having replaced John Payne. Stubby Kaye, as always, was quite good. |
