| I think it was their only score together that was a musical play rather than musical comedy. | |

| Not that comedies aren't plays, but couldn't you say Applause was a musical play as well? It has its splashy moments, to be sure, but it's as much a play as a comedy. Golden Boy strikes me as being by far the better of the two, although having never actually seen it I am only surmising. | |

| I agree that Golden Boy is by far the better score of the two. And I think you're right that Applause is technically a musical play too, just as the film All About Eve is really more of a drama than a comedy, except that it has such amusing dialogue and so many really funny punch lines that I think most people tend to think of it as a comedy. I usually think of it as a comedy myself, and I sometimes automatically carry that over to my thoughts about the musical. | |
