| Just a note that little work of Wally Harper's is heard on the recording. He still received credit on the title page for the dance arrangements, but the list of musical numbers credited David Shire with the dance arrangement for "Tick Tock." When the number was in danger of being cut in Boston, it was greatly reworked, and Shire was brought in to create a largely new dance arrangement (some of which may have been taken from an unused overture put together by Sondheim, although that's not certain). I don't know why they didn't have Harper do a new arrangement. I'm sure he could have. Maybe they just wanted someone new to give a fresh perspective. |
