I had seen Tommy Tune in my hometown of Portland, Oregon in the national Broadway touring company of SeeSaw (his big number It's Not Where You Start It's Where You Finish). So when I was in New York like 8 years later I went to see this show because of him. Twiggy, as it turned out, was an extra bonus. I loved this number when I saw them do it live. I still love it now. 41 years later.

It probably failed because its nothing but feminist garbage. The staging is impressive, but that's about it. Hard pass unless you like 3-hours of berating and whining.

What a privilege to work with so many legends on one event and watch them doing their signature songs. This seems to be from a very good recording. I’ve only seen it on a very blurry VHS. History!

This is my favourite show of all time. It’s overtaken Wicked, Come From Away, all of them. It’s opened a whole new world for me. Firstly it introduced me to Stephanie J Block and secondly and I’ve now travelled the entire west coast of Ireland and I’ve learnt about Gráinne’s whole life. I’ve read all the books and visited all the sights as well as learning so much more about 16th-17th century England. Not to mention I could listen to the entire soundtrack daily and cry every time. It’s just beautiful.

I love that this company tries to recreate these forgotten musical numbers - but if this was truly what this show was like I'm not surprised it was a massive, very expensive flop. Joe Layton was usually so good, but this isn't. I didn't see it, but from all accounts it was beautiful to look at, but the book was confused.

Not sure of the year, but it's from the American Dance Machine series. They wanted to preserve musical theatre dance pieces that may have been lost over time. It was founded by the late Lee Becker. `

"Despite an overwhelmingly positive response from audiences [in Chicago]"?? That's a bit of a lie. I was thrilled to score tickets to the Chicago run, then heartbroken by how boring and tuneless the show was. 2/3 of the audience didn't come back from intermission (No lie). I stuck it out to be polite, but to this day, The Pirate Queen is talked about as the worst pre-Broadway tryout ever inflicted on Chicago, worse even than The Last Ship and The Goodbye Girl.

Tenderloin could have been a wonderful show...if it's lead character wasn't such a killjoy! The ensemble that made up the so-called "bad guys" of the show were much more interesting than that boring, fuddy-duddy Reverend Brock.

Didn't Walter Kerr say that Tenderloin was a musical about a crusading minister who wants to shut down all the production numbers? But really great score!
