| To give the devil his due, I am almost positive that all the stripper names came from Laurents. There are drafts at the Library for the Performing Arts from before most of the score was written, and it's amazing how much of the show is already there, even without a lot of the songs. No wonder Robbins supposedly said to Laurents out of town that it was his (Laurents's) show, a book writer's show, not the kind of show to which Robbins could make his special type of contributions. |
