Listen "Anyone Can Whistle "
Episode Synopsis
Today we cover Sondheim's first flop, Anyone Can Whistle!
Anyone Can Whistle is a musical with a book by Arthur Laurents and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. The story concerns a corrupt mayoress, an idealistic nurse, a man who may be a doctor, and various officials, patients and townspeople, all fighting to save a bankrupt town. It closed after 9 performances and 12 previews.
I'm joined by Josh McDougle and we talk about even Sondheim can fail.
