...idea of spending about half a million dollars to bring back a forty-five year old show is vaguely disconcerting. Broadway has been sick for a while now, and Nanette's backers probably have dollar signs painted on their teeth. But perhaps it is worth it. Perhaps the glint in a septuagenarian eye, a glint meaning, "We do have it in us," justifies the gargantuan cosmic folly of putting on an expensive, frivolous revival.

She recreated her dream of "boating on the Seine," and led one's thoughts to Renoir and his velvety impressions of summer days and the sparkling glint of light on the river's water. Later, her voice grew mellow and wise as she sang "the colors of my father's dreams faded" and the audience could look back with her in knowing retrospect, as Gene Taylor drew his bow sadly across the strings of his bass...
