The most charming musical around remains Irma La Douce, the freshest Carnival!, and Bye Bye Birdie and Fiorello! are both unpretentiously funny. Do Re Mi has Phil Silvers, but book and music combine to make this a lot less entertaining than Bilko reruns. Donnybrook!, another one of those hopeful musicals that believe in the magic of the exclamation point, is a corny mixture of Irish sass and sentiment. As for Rodgers and Hammerstein...
