Oh, good. We agree.
I mean, if it were true, then we'd have to say that Roberta, Carousel, Fiddler, Company, Cabaret and God knows how many other musicals don't have decent music.
I can't find that Champion item but in the Carnival! pre-opening Times article it said that there was no overture in the usual sense, and Champion was then quoted with "They're dull." There was a pre-opening Times article on Hello, Dolly! that had quotes from Champion but nothing about overtures. |
