Notes from David

This was an ambitious project: Santino Fontana wrote a wonderful original script that incorporated songs from the Rodgers and Hart catalog. Lyrics and Lyricists presented it in a concert version with most of the songs and lots of narration. It was a very classy evening -- elegant, funny, and marvelously sung. And what glorious songs!

The challenge, as always, with pre-1943 theater music is that it wasn't necessarily written to elucidate character. Santino was very smart about how he used the songs, so fingers crossed that the piece has a future life.
