...replaced by spoken dialogue. Most productions have entirely eliminated a brief, sensual scene showing the night life of Charleston, with the character Jasbo Brown playing some lowdown blues on a splendidly out-of-tune upright piano. They also usually omit Porgy's superstitious "Buzzard Song" ("Once de buzzard fold his wing an' light over yo' house/ All yo' happiness done dead") as well as several chunks of the last scene. All that restored material does make for a three-hour-long evening (Houston, wisely perhaps, has reconsidered and scrapped a few of the restorations...

...dominated by Boyle cronies, elected by the rank and file because they were better known than Miller's men. In addition, four board members endorsed by Miller deserted their sponsor, charging him with mismanagement. Finally Trbovich, Miller's reform-minded running mate, left the fold to lead the opposition. The charges against Miller: that his staff is dominated by "leftwing radicals from New York and Boston," that excessive-and illegal-spending by Miller is plunging the union into the red, and that he is a poor administrator...
