While I have not received many responses to similar posts in the past – I thought I would try a Broadway Trivia Contest once again in lieu of BUZZ this holiday week-end.
The winner will receive a free copy of my THE 2010 edition of my special report “ITEMIZED DEDUCTIONS: A COMPLETE GUIDE TO SCHEDULE A”.
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s SOUTH PACIFIC was having a bit of trouble during its out of town try-outs. It appears the show was running a bit long. Thoughts were turned to how to trim a few minutes from the production.
Several suggestions were made to cut a little song from the 2nd Act. But Richard and Oscar would not have it – they were adamant in their support of this song. Their response was - if the song was cut they might as well close the show out of town. Since R+H were the producers the song remained.
What is that song?
