| I haven't seen all of Larry Grossman's Broadway musicals, and, frankly, a couple were before my time. I know only the lovely ''Mama, a Rainbow'' from ''Minnie's Boys''; have never heard anything from ''Goodtime Charley''; adore ''Learn to Be Lonely'' from ''A Doll's Life,'' and think ''Grind's'' score is an underrated treasure trove of gems. But all these shows have one thing in common: short runs. * ''Minnie's Boys'' (1970), with lyrics by Hal Hackady: 80 performances * ''Goodtime Charley'' (1975), with lyrics by Hal Hackady: 104 performances * ''A Doll's Life'' (1982), with lyrics by Betty Comden & Adolph Green: 5 performances * ''Grind'' (1985), with lyrics by Ellen Fitzhugh: 71 performances (* ''Paper Moon'' (1993), with lyrics by Ellen Fitzhugh and Carol Hall: Never made it to Broadway; closed at Paper Mill) Grossman's found far more success in TV, winning 6 Emmys (from 17 nominations). And he's done the Tonys, Oscars and variety specials galore. Looking on YouTube, I found this rare clip of Grossman performing ''Turns Out,'' a beautifully rueful and reflective song from ''Paper Moon.'' |
