 But I think it would have been helped by a director who really understood big musicals and Wood Baker had just had the great success with "Fantastiks", which was only a few people in a tiny, tiny theatre, and he did that one imaginatively, but this one he did not do imaginatively and it was very clunky.A lot depends on the director in a musical.He really can make fair material much better and a bad director can take excellent material and make it worse... Hal Prince took over the direction out of town.
