| While I usually agree with your assessments, Jesse, I found Sugar to be a delight. The two times I saw the show, the audience was eating it up, laughing hysterically and clearly having a wonderful time. Yes, it is lower tier Styne, but that is still better than what is considered upper tier today, IMHO. Also, there's no director today who can better a Gower Champion staging. Finally, Robert Morse gave the performance of the season that year. No one has that kind of lovable, comic genius. |
