| I saw MILK AND HONEY at the York earlier this year, as part of its Mufti series. It was wonderful. Herman's score is sophisticated, beautiful, and almost operatic. To my surprise, the book worked well and played with both dramatic strength and humor. All of that said, it's true that this show won't be revived, and I've long hoped it would be done at Encores. It will be one of the shows featured in the first Encores show of the new season, HEY LOOK ME OVER, which will feature songs and scenes from several shows that Encores has thought about presenting. I saw the touring production of the original MILK AND HONEY, with most of the Broadway cast - it was one of the first shows I saw. Prior to the Mufti mounting, I had seen MILK AND HONEY at Musicals Tonight several years ago, and that production was less effective. |

| Most of Herman's work (and, indeed, those of the other great Bway collaborators) would be more accessible if the books were re-written, en masse. The books are so corny that they become period pieces almost immediately. Fix the books and the musicals could have a recurring life. |
