| I agree with you. I still think it's an amiable show. The problem with the book for me is that it has jokes but not much of a comic structure. It really depends on a Carol Burnett or a Sutton Foster to lift the whole thing up and carry it. Somewhat related: the show was developed at the Tamiment summer camp which was started as a Socialist summer retreat. By the 1960's when the musical was first developed there as a one act that political background was probably something of a memory. The Tamiment name still survives at NYU's left and labor archive which also has the records of the Tamiment Playhouse. |
