The original production had more than 1,000 performances. It made stars out of Michael Jeter and Jane Krakowski.
It requires a big cast, but the set can be done as it was in the original fairly cheaply.

Good grief, that cast recording is a good deed in this cruel world.

Except for Brent Barrett, who was a poor substitute for David Carroll. They should have brought in Rex Smith.

It's a mediocre show nobody really LOVED back then, and it didn't grow its reputation in regional or amateur productions.
It felt like a one-run-and-done.
It's no Cabaret, in its level of quality or the ability to be reinterpreted in creative ways.

Oh how wrong you are R3, somebody REALLY LOVED it back then.

A concert version, at least, is long overdue.

Because it is a dreary slog of a show which never deserved the production Tommy Tune devised for it.
Had they dared have an intermission I would have left then. The marketing and clever staging fooled people into thinking it was a good show.

It can't be re-interpreted for a contemporary audience.

Well I liked it. Maybe not a classic masterpiece of musical theatre, but it was WAY better than Titanic. I also liked the incredibly goofy but fun "The Life" -- it's like HBO's The Deuce: the musical.

There is nobody today that could match Michael Jeter.
