I'm 52 and have been spent more than forty of those years immersing myself in musical theatre trivia and arcana. I'm far from the most devout practitioner but I have a lot of factoids crammed in my noggin.
I'd never realized that Bernstein wrote a score for PETER PAN. I did know that Jean Arthur and Boris Karloff had done a famous production but was not aware of the Bernstein connection.
Give the OP a break. Whether or not s/he is young or not. I have long stopped getting irked by stuff like this. If they are not aware that, before Alison Williams, there were Cathy Rigby, Sandy Duncan, Mia Farrow, Mary Martin, Maude Adams and Nina Boucicault, then just pass the info along without scold or judgement. |
