I saw it, attracted by the cast, and the fact that I was young, and it was cheap, and I'd see anything.
It was just awful. On the desperate level of "Fun City" and "Four On A Garden" and "Things That Go Bump In The Night."
Nothing worked, and it was playing to an almost empty house. One of those show where I'd bought my usual back balcony seat and was directed by the ushers to sit in the front of the orchestra, just so the actors didn't feel they were playing to seats.
Even at 18, I knew enough to feel sorry for everyone involved, but only barely: I was laughing in the wrong places, at things that were ludicrous, and not laughing at the occasional intended jokes. I'm sure everyone but the investors was happy when it closed. |
