| I vigorously disagree about Zippel’s lyrics. “Elliot Garfield Grant” and “Paula, an improvisation” are perfect both for the character and Martin Short. The biggest problems were the truly hideous and distracting set and having Peters rage her way through the 11 o clock number 2 minutes into the show. I agree with Saks...her character was really unpleasant. Perhaps if she had started with a self deprecating funny-rueful number (called The Goodbye Girl, perhaps) the show would have gotten off to a better start. |
