| Martin Short was wonderful, as was his character. But there was something wrong with a musical where you were hoping Bernadette Peters didn't have another song to sing. Short's character would want to do something fun, and her character would be a stick in the mud and try to stifle it. Gene Saks was perfectly right to want to re-think Bernadette's role as written, since it's no fun watching someone be a drip (and not played for laughs either). |
