...The One-Minute Pundit

Tuesday, June 08, 2004


On the morning after another musical masterwork enters the pantheon (pffh-hh-hh!), Terry does it again! If anything, he could have written far stronger because the modern musical is utterly TUNELESS. And that "witty" lyric from the new Show Boat is nothing but "National Brotherhood Week" upside-down and backwards. (I can forgive one slipup, though.) A moral of this story: That we still revive the classic Broadway musical might explain why we honor Ronald Reagan.

I think I can also forgive ArtsJournal.com for plugging this one.

P. S. Godspell opened in '71, not '76. And to the computer whizzes at Commentary: I don't think Fellini's movie was called 8BD.
