When a reductive production using material from "The Most Happy Fella" leads to a reviewer characterising "How Beautiful the Days" (with all its - original - exquisite and delicate complexity) to "lush brutality", gee I'm glad I know the original show. How terrible for an audience, and by extension a culture, if such ugly impressions crush their joyful spirits and render them unable to experience the sincere, redemptive humanity intended in what was and remains - outside the hands of Fish - a glorious work of musical theatre.
He also did Oklahorror!, of course. |
