The Doctor Is Retiring.....On Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                        "Doctor Zhivago" opened on Broadway the same night as "Annie" 38 years before--on April 21, 2015!  I knew it would never duplicate that 1977 show's success; in fact, I am surprised it ran this long--almost three weeks!!!!!!!!  The one I feel most sorry for is Lucy Simon, who, years before, wrote a brilliant musical called "The Secret Garden," a show long overdue for a revival, but where out there can you find the likes of Daisy Eagan, Mandy Patinkin and Rebecca Luker?????????

                           No matter how bad a show, it is always sad when one closes.  Actors and techies out of work, out of a job they gave themselves to, because the believed in it, or otherwise, believed in the paycheck, which forced them to believe in the show.

                            After Sunday, this show is History, and not of the sort to make anyone proud!!!!!!!!!!!

                             Which goes to prove the David Lean 1965 film is still definitive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
