He’s still here
Good read about Broadway in today's New York Times. Hal Prince is nostalgic. I think he's the one that said, "The American musical is dead. And we killed it." So a friend of mine quotes him, at least. Or maybe it was Sondheim that said it? Same difference, I suppose.
Anyway, it's not a wonder he dreams of a different era, a time when shows on Broadway weren't full of irony and rehashed pop songs, but is his new idea (at Columbia University) the way to go? Or is it an attempt to relive his glory days or perhaps atone for his murderous sins?
