| I know nothing of The Act other than the song City Lights. I ended up down a rabbit hole and was surprised to find out Martin Scorsese was the (original) director and then, after a lot of trouble on the road, Gower Champion was brought into "fix" the show before Broadway. It's all in this pretty interesting NY Times piece from 1977. But, it got me thinking, any opinions on the best replacement directors / show doctors who came in (perhaps officially, perhaps unofficially) and who, by your memory or the popular record, helped turn things around dramatically? What about replacement actors? Note: I'm referring to actors who replaced fired actors (perhaps before they even made it on stage), not about later-in-the-run successors. THAT list would be far too long. And, yes, I know "best" is completely subjective... |
