| As someone who saw a reading of this version, I have to correct a misapprehension. This is not a show that has "nothing to do with the original book." In fact, it retains the basic shape of the original book, most of the characters, and much of the score. It also has a lot of interpolated numbers which, to me, were a clear case of overcompensation. But to say that it has abandoned the basic story of Pal Joey is not accurate. |
