| HEY, LOOK ME OVER! is unmissable for anyone who loves the history of the American Musical Theatre. The MACK & MABEL sequence alone is worth the price of the ticket. | |

| Jerry Herman has said ''Mack & Mabel'' is his favorite score, so it must've broke his heart when it wasn't even Tony-nominated. But I'm baffled that ''Hey, Look Me Over!'' could do a segment on ''Mack & Mabel'' without its best-known song, ''I Won't Send Roses.'' They could do 4 songs from ''Greenwillow'' and 3 from ''All-American'' and ''Milk & Honey,'' but only 2 tunes from ''Mack & Mabel''? :( |

| I tend to think it's ''I Won't Send Roses,'' if only for Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean's legendary ice-skating duet. Torvill and Dean were Olympic champions who must've introduced that song to audiences all over, in person and on TV. Wikipedia says their Olympic performances were seen by a British TV audience of more than 24 million. Anyway, if I were showcasing 2 songs from ''Mack & Mabel,'' it'd be ''I Won't Send Roses'' and ''Time Heals Everything.'' Not the ones they chose for Encores!: ''Movies Were Movies'' and ''Look What Happened to Mabel.'' |

| "Anyway, if I were showcasing 2 songs from ''Mack & Mabel,'' it'd be ''I Won't Send Roses'' and ''Time Heals Everything.'' Wayman, I couldn't agree with you more. I was there last night, and found the show to be a relatively entertaining night, with a few sections that dragged a bit. But I felt that it was worth the investment of both time and money. I haven't read through the entire thread, but is the "surprise" at the end still a surprise? |
