THAT MILTON'S PRODUCTION lacks in originality, it makes up for in sweat. Observe the seven squealing, prancing Urchins. They'll smile til their faces ache, they'll dance til they collapse, they'll be so sweet you'll contract diabetes. They just want the audience to like them and to have a good time; to remember that for all of Newley and Bricusse's delusions of grandeur, The Roar of the Greasepaint can still be simply enjoyed as an amusing musical comedy...

John David Crow, a halfback who won the Heisman Trophy in 1957, recalls going into the dressing room after practice, pulling off his sweat-soaked uniform and, too tired to stand, sitting on a chair in the shower. As he relaxed, Bryant called the team back on the field for another practice. Baking in the sun, Crow fainted and was out for three hours.
