Bender and Reporter-Researcher Patsy Beckert interviewed Rice and Lloyd Webber, attended preview and premier performances, reviewed the merits of the show with the notables at the opening-night cast party. Show Business Correspondent Mary Cronin, who saw the production four times, obtained much of the background material for the story in two weeks of intensive interviewing. Jay Cocks, a movie critic who occasionally patrols Broadway as well, wrote a separate profile on Superstar's director, Tom (Hair) O'Horgan. Foote prepared...
