| The libretto of Wildcat is pretty weak, but with the judicious cutting of some of the sillier lines (like the reference to Fred Mertz), the show's very enjoyable score would make it a great Encores vehicle for a cast like Sutton Foster (as Wildy), Steven Pasquale (as Joe), and Chris Fitzgerald (as Sookie). Foster belting "Hey, Look Me Over", Pasquale handling "You've Come Home" and "Corduroy Road", and Foster and Fitzgerald knocking "What Takes My Fancy" out of the park would guarantee sold out houses. Plus someone like Nathaniel Hackmann to sing "Tall Hope". Coleman's score is even better than Rodgers' Once Upon a Mattress. |
