Friends of mine know well that I referred to R&E as one of the greatest musical theatre scores NEVER to play New York. Unfortunately, the book is a bit of a snooze. Having never actually seen the show, my curiosity led me to purchase the Samuel French libretto years ago, but barely managed to get through it. I still recommend folks check out the terrific cast recording. (Note how you can see Keith Michell's wig lace on the album's jacket!)
