Jerry Herman believed Mack & Mabel was his greatest score. He was holding out for a major revival.
Instead, he finally relented to Encores! producing it, with the hopes it would transfer, but the show wasn't reviewed or received well.
Interestingly, Merrily, We Roll Along was also a flop at its first production but keeps getting revivals, although none of them seem to click with audiences. And, next there's a real-time movie being produced.
Is it over for Mack and Mabel? Will any producer take a chance with it now? |
