SKYSCRAPER DRG 19026
Perhaps the worst year ever for Broadway musicals was 1965. (Up until 1965, that is.) The previous year, 1964, had seen the openings ofHello, Dolly!, Funny Girl andFiddler on the Roof. As retribution, perhaps, theatregoers the following year were subjected to Kelly; Baker Street; Do I Hear a Waltz?; Flora, the Red Menace; The Roar of the Greasepaint; Pickwick; Drat! the Cat!; On a Clear Day You Can See Forever; Skyscraper; Anya; andThe Yearling. These plus two keenly anticipated shows that closed out of town, Frank Loesser and Bob Fosse's Pleasures and Palaces andHot September, the David Merrick-Josh Logan musicalization ofPicnic. The year would have been a total loss were it not for the least likely of them all, an adaptation ofDon Quixote that opened in Greenwich Village just before Thanksgiving calledMan of La Mancha.
