| Alan as I note in this thread, I saw Mr Goodmans final performance, and he was gamely trying to replicate Nathan's performance. My understanding is that the producers said one thing but when Mr Goodman arrived to rehearse, all they wanted was Nathan light. Or maybe they let Mr Goodman try a new take, then made him revert to Nathan - which seems unlikely to me. This was akin to the Funny Girl casting issue - what they were thinking? |
