Mercoledi Musicale

A sentiment that several people I know are going through right now.

And no one sings it like Bernadette!

Time heals everything
Tuesday, Thursday
Time heals everything
April, August
If I'm patient the break will mend
And one fine morning the hurt will end
So make the moments fly
Autumn,Winter
I'll forget you by
Next year,Some year
Tho' it's hell that I'm going through
Some Tuesday, Thursday
April, August
Autumn, Winter
Next year, Some year
Time heals everything
Time heals everything
But loving you.

So make the moments fly
Autumn, Winter
I'll forget you by
Next year, Some year
Though it's hell that I'm going through
Some Tuesday, Thursday
April, August
Autumn, winter
Next year, Some year
Time heals everything
Time heals everything
But loving you!

Jerry Herman - Mack and Mabel

17 giugno - San Ranieri

Mercoledi Musicale

In October 1974 Jerry Herman's Mack and Mabel premiered on Broadway. He has been quoted as saying it is a favorite score but sadly it was a box office flop. It has been always recognized that the problem has been Michael Stewart's book. The story of two not particularly sympathetic people - one an ego-centric movie director the other a cocaine-addicted actress - just doesn't work. As faithful as it may have been to the real story of Mack Sennett and Mabel Normand it just isn't the stuff of musical comedy.

I tend to agree with Herman's opinion of his score and in particular the lovely ballad I Won't Send Roses. I searched high and low for a clip of the incredible Robert Preston's definitive version from the original production, and I know there was a clip out there at one time. The only thing I could fine was his version used as music for an ice dance routine. But what an ice dance routine!
