| Yes, the change to Gussie being an actress makes very little sense. The corresponding character being an actress and the producer's wife made sense in the Hart and Kaufman play, but the change in the musical to her being an actress and the producer's wife would have needed far more rewriting to make sense in the musical. And the original version of Gussie was a hoot. I think she's sort of a bore in the revision. A bore who makes very little sense. There are things here and there that I like in the revision, but overall . . . what a mistake it was. Some revising might have been effective, but most of what they did was not. |
