| Jack Viertel apparently just didn't like it. At a party held at City Center after the season some years ago, I even suggested the very capable (and very nice!) Karen Ziemba would be great for "Redhead" to him in her presence; she said "oooh, Redhead!" but he just wasn't enthused about the show. Other people would pitch shows to him at events like that. I once suggested Bette Midler for "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" before it was done there. He said she'd be great, but suggested there would be problems in getting her or dealing with her (or affording her) for the short time period of production, I seem to recall. She'd have been wonderful in the Shirley Booth role. |
