It's funny, I saw Milk and Honey at the York and had exactly the opposite reaction. I'm glad they did it, and while I particularly liked the younger people in the show, I thought the story of the two leads was completely flat and uninteresting. The leads seemed to be re-enacting a far less compelling and convincing version of South Pacific and Most Happy Fella. I found their songs repetitive and can't imagine that any dancing at Encores would be anything more than the happy villager variety. I say this as one of the biggest Jerry Herman fans out there and someone who is happy to see Chin Up, Ladies over and over again. Congratulations as always to Jim Morgan for getting these shows up on their feet and seen again.
Mack and Mabel however has one of the most admired scores of any failed musical and at least three great lead parts that could certainly fill the stage at City Center. There would be huge interest in this show. It's something that fully justifies the sound of the big orchestra at Encores. |
