| A good interview, yes. But I look back on his time as artistic director at Reprise! and shudder at the memory of the “updated” DAMN YANKEES—with the 1980s Dodgers replacing the Senators, and the entirely botched FANTASTICKS, with the Mute making goo-goo eyes at El Gallo, a stuffed cat with purplish sparkly material on in (“raspberry jam all over the cat”), and a Mom for Matt to end up with Luisa’s Dad. Laura, still appalled after all these years |

| Not to mention his Sunday in the Park With George that ended the first act with everyone in white, as if George had done nothing more than outline his painting. Ruined one of the greatest first act closers ever. | |

| Ghastly. I remember. I actually exchanged emails with him (via his assistant) when I heard what kind of horrible crap he had planned for the Dodgers DAMN YANKEES. Clueless doesn’t begin to tell the tale. And then, sitting there in our seats in row DD, to hear the added dialogue, “Mr. McCourt wants to see you, Joe!” (Frank McCourt was the owner of the Dodgers at the time of this misbegotten production, NOT the owner in the 1980s when the action was supposed to take place!)—oh, that was the worst moment of all. Exactly how much did McCourt pay for that? Laura in LA |
