| I'm with you, Alan. But LEar was up front when she took over that her agenda would be different. My 3 top musicals that Encores! has ignored are: LOVE LIFE (I saw a Lost Musicals concert of his in London aeons ago); REDHEAD (a apersonl afavoriet of mine), and KNICKERBOCKER HOLIDAY (I saw the L.A. production starring Burt Lancaster!) | |

| Wait, what? The great Burt Lancaster onstage and in a musical, no less? When was this? Tell me more! | |

| Thank you! Lancaster is, I think, the best of his generation’s American film actors and I would love to have seen him on stage. | |

| Certainly one of the best, and with a wider range than people perhaps always realized. He also did that play about middle-aged Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, The Boys in Autumn, out in L.A. | |

| Ah, yes, now that you mention it, I remember reading about it — maybe in the late70s? — hoping it would come to New York though I thought it was a lousy concept. I’m recalling that Kirk Douglas was Lancaster’s co-star, but I may be misremembering. It eventually did come East, I recall, with George C Scott and John Cullum, but I passed on it. | |

| You are not misremembering. It was done in San Francisco in 1981 with Lancaster as Huck, and Douglas as Tom. And, yes, eventually it was produced at Circle in the Square with Scott and Cullum to generally unenthusiastic reviews. | |

| It's not really fair to call a production that was announced, cast, and rehearsed, but scuttled by a global pandeminc "ignored". Although it is a shame they have elected to not re-program Love Life. | |
