| Those more knowledgeable and experienced than me (I?) so frequently say the original was the best - it works the best and makes for a great show. But the original bombed on Broadway. Is Merrily just destined to be a "not for everyone" show (with a phenomenal score), or would/could it be more successful than the original run, even if fashioned after the original run? I've see three productions and loved them all (yes, I'm guilty of saying the London production must have solved the problems, because it worked - for me, in person; and I really liked the Fiasco production). But I think it's that I love the score so much, it's a completely pleasurable time in the theatre to hear it performed, and the songs individually illuminate the characters for me. I guess I gloss over the (important, I know) details for this one. I would love to see a new production of the original version, but I really don't think I ever will have the opportunity. |
