It was the Broadway season when Barbra Streisand demanded "Don't Rain on My Parade" and Carol Channing heard the waiters at the Harmonia Gardens say "Hello, Dolly!". From June 1, 1963 through the final day of May 31, 1964, theatergoers were offered 68 different productions: 24 new plays, 15 new comedies, 14 new musicals, 5 revivals of plays, 3 revues, 3 plays in Yiddish, 2 in French, 1 double-bill and even 1 puppet show. Peter Filichia'sThe Great Paradewill look at what a Broadway season looked like a half-century ago analyzing the hits, the flops, the trends, the surprises, the disappointments, the stars and even how the assassination of JFK and the arrival of the Beatles affected Broadway.The Great Parade is a chronicle of a Broadway season unprecedented in the star power onstage: Barbara Streisand, Carol Channing, Claudette Colbert. Colleen Dewhurst, Hal Holbrook, Mary Martin, Christopher Plummer, Robert Preston, Julie Harris, Jason Robards, Jr., Carol Burnett, Tallulah Bankhead, Alec Guinness, Kirk Douglas, Albert Finney, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Richard Burton, Mary Martin, Beatrice Lillie, Hermione Gingold, Robert Redford and many more. Neil Simon and Stephen Sondheim burst on to the Broadway stage withBarefoot in the ParkandAnyone Can Whistle. The '63-'64 season was one of Broadway's greatest and inThe Great Parade, Peter Filichia gives us another classic. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Perhaps it's because I like to offer "redemptive readings" that I struggle with carefree bitchiness, and that differentiates me from the author. Perhaps it's just that providing a work's plot synopsis in the past tense is a bewildering choice. Filichia is both too clever for himself (throwing in casual references to obscure lyrics from other obscure shows) and far too dull for the reader. This is for die-hards only; a feast of in-jokes and smugness, but little else.
Deserves to be as forgotten as the 1963-64 Broadway season. Nay - more so! ( )
