| Saw & loved both productions (understudy Mamie Parris was on as Lily the night I saw the Roundabout one, & she did a superb job), but overall, what can one say... the 1978 production is yet another example of an era which I hope hasn't passed for good, when it felt like genius was everywhere & not hidden under a bushel by casting, producers, etc. And yes, the costumes & Robin Wagner set in the original blew the mind. |
