...farmer and the cowman are dancing together again in a Broadway revival of Oklahoma! The King and I and Carousel have each got a fresh coat of paint in recent years. Even that postwar war-horse South Pacific is on a national tour and was revived a short time ago in London. But Flower Drum Song has long been the one Rodgers and Hammerstein hit that no one wants to revive, tucked away in the drawer where dated ethnic stereotypes are sent...
...Chicago’s South Side as part of an observant Jewish family. As a child with dyslexia, Patinkin first discovered theater in a nearby youth center. Though initially “dragged there by this huge football player,” Patinkin fondly remembers the production of Carousel, as well as its director, Bob Condor.

On Sunday, June...
...film singing. It is no small accomplishment that its producers persuaded the movie studios who hold the rights to this material to allow a raid on their vaults. Some of what the producers found--a few songs from an abortive cartoon version of Finian's Rainbow, Soliloquy from Carousel, a film Sinatra walked out on--is interesting, if not top-notch, Frank. But as there have already been enough Sinatra collections to make you want to listen to Ricky Nelson, what's left is mostly the great man's pocket lint...
