| Yes, I remember reading that. First of all, Arsenic and Old Lace does not cry out for music (and I played Teddy in high school--probably my favorite role, so I know what is fun in the show). Second, the idea of Merman and Martin in the same book show (not a revue or special concert, such as they did a few times) just feels wrong--shockingly wrong, as Mrs. Stephen Haines might say! That's what makes the Forbidden Broadway parody of them singing "An Old Fashioned Wedding" so droll--while they can inhabit the same worlds (Annie GYG, for example), they can't be there at the same time. It would do something frightful to the time-space continuum. | |

| Ye gads, what would Ethel Merman and Carol Channing have been like if they had co-starred in "Legends"? | |

| Well, first of all they would turn it into a musical to take advantage of the stars. The obvious choice to write the score, would of course be Jerry Herman ;-) | |
