| I think the tone of dismissal in the original post may be the reason Herman Gave his acceptance speech about the simple hummable tunes being back.. I don't believe he was consciously 'dissing' ; Mr. Sondheim. I think he just felt relieved to have a hit after people had relegated him to the dustbin.... On my own preference, I think Dolly is a wonderful show(with Mr. Champion being the key;) I love the score for Mack and Mabel, then I start to pick and choose among the Herman songs. The Sondheim/ - Laurents-(fill in the names of the other collaborators, including Mr. Prince), and you have a historic legacy. Jerry Herman has one great show, which is inseparable from the Champion staging. I saw Dolly last may and it was one of the most joyous occasion in my life, |
