| He was terrific in The Good Doctor at the closing performance. Sorry to hear that he wasn't always. | |

| I also thought he was very good in it. But as a lad, I collected autographs at the stage door, and after a Sat. mat. of TGD, CP pushed right by me and ignored my request. The only other tine that happened was after MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN, when CP's future OLD TIMES co-star Jason Robards did the same thing. Knowing what I do about both great actors, they were probably on their way to a much-needed post-show drink and were not going to be stopped. I still loved them both...and I can see why Neil Simon fell for the gorgeous Marsha Mason from that show. So did I. |

| I've never seen any production of ''The Good Doctor,'' but I've always been curious about this ''comedy with music.'' Peter Link is credited with the music and Neil Simon with the lyrics, so are there actual songs? Have they ever been recorded? I see that the 1974 Tonys nominated ''The Good Doctor'' for Best Original Score (and passed over the songs to ''Cyrano''). And the 1973 Tonys nominated Link's incidental music to ''Much Ado About Nothing'' (over Jule Styne & Bob Merrill's ''Sugar''). It looks like Link's ''Much Ado'' nomination might've been the first time a play made it into the Best Score category. |

| On Broadway, there was one song in The Good Doctor. There seems to have been at least one more when it opened out of town. On Broadway, the play was preceded by a 20-minute concert of music by Peter Link, and there must have been some incidental music. It was so long ago and I can't remember. I think you're probably right that Link's Much Ado score was the first time that an incidental music score was nominated, but of course there are songs in Much Ado and other music called for, plus Link composed additional music, which I think was pretty much all there in the television production. I can't remember if the television production of The Good Doctor includes much or even any of the music, although I think it must include at least the song. |
