...The One-Minute Pundit

I hate to harp on musicals (if only because I love them), but consider this photo:



These are the leads in a new Goodspeed Opera House production of Jerry Herman's cult flop Mack and Mabel. I wouldn't even post on this except the original show starred Robert Preston and Bernadette Peters. Here we have a middle manager romancing a nobody. It's not just the dearth of tunes that killed the musical -- the dearth of FACES did it too.
