I missed this one at Radio City Music Hall, Cary Grant had been asked to play the lead but Cary Grant had seen Robert Preston on Broadway in the stage play and said I I can’t top that.
The Music Man in Technirama on screen and Bolero on stage. Had to have been one of the Music Hall’s great shows. Why weren’t they having programs like this in the 70s? Maybe because Hollywood lost the knack for these kinds of entertainments and the Music Hall could no longer afford to produce Bolero.
I just missed out.
Almost got to see Music Man there in the late 70s there during their short revival period. It was announced but then right before it was to play it was cancelled and Gypsy replaced it which I’ve always liked and was happy to see at the Hall. Still would have preferred TMM.
Also as you can see MM opened far too late in the summer. It should have opened at the latest at the beginning of August but the supremely lame That Touch of Mink(will Cary lay Doris in Bermuda? Scheisse.) lasted far too long pushing back this film so far it had two spectacular opening weeks and then went down like the Titanic after the Labor day weekend. And it should have been one of the Hall’s long runs.
