I saw The Day Before Spring at the York twice yesterday.
And I wasn't bored once. What a fascinating time at the theatre... To see the way Lerner and Loewe expressed themselves creatively as they were just starting out. To hear a score by musical theatre legends that has never been recorded. To witness a musical from the '40s that explores the adult topic of adultery.
After the piece in the New York Times, all audience members at the talkback were eager to learn more about the reconstruction of the score. As Aaron Gandy, David Glenn Armstrong, Mark York and the cast shared the fascinating process, murmurs abounded concerning the future of this beautiful score.
As always, many important persons of the theatre community showed up to champion the show. Even Liza Lerner, Alan Jay's daughter, was present at opening night!
