Krieger was reported to have been at one of the performances.
The failure to include bios for the original authors, along with the failure to credit the orchestrator and vocal arranger (Harold Wheeler) and dance-music arranger (Peter Howard) speaks to major sloppiness or thoughtlessness or lack of knowledge on the part of the person responsible. And someone at the top should have been paying attention. Since they put an insert crediting Harold Wheeler in the playbill, with a bio, why did they not also include on the insert (or add another insert with) bios for the authors?
Charles Blackwell was an important person in Broadway history (with important London credits, too, connected to his Broadway work), and most people know little about him. A bio for him would have been especially useful, although I wonder if people at Encores! know much about him. As one of the few black writers whose work has been produced in the main Encores! series, this oversight is particularly disturbing under the circumstances. |
