...granddaddy of forgotten musicals, Kurt Weill. In other words if you are going to write a good flop musical, you had best throw away your Rodgers and Hammerstein albums and start tuning into The Threepenny Opera.

In the past two years, the New York Times's Clive Barnes has become a public character, the most theatrical and prolific critic since the days of Alexander Woollcott...
