I think I liked the show and Hayes better than you, but I very much agree with this:
"the attendant politely but pointedly makes a speech about how Gershwin stole his music from African Americans = as did virtually all popular 'white' song writers, And we had to sit and listen to this speech although it in no way informed, or related to the play. "
The lines (too brief to call a speech in my opinion) felt out place and inauthentic to the time period. It was jarring.
I do think the show will come to Broadway though. I wouldn't necessarily say it will be a hit. |
