I don't see how that can be. The whole purpose of the John O'Hara stories, and of the original play, was to attempt to mount a musical with an anti-hero in the lead. The show is famous for having a main character who is a heel.
But the writers themselves say, "their Joey is a misunderstood genius, not a heel."
I don't see how you can eliminate the fundamental core of the story and still call it Pal Joey. |
