The failure of
Anyone Can Whistle is legendary. It closed after 9 performances.
Madeline Botteri and
Joel DeCandio, of The Sondheim Project, join Kyle in discussing how the first song of the show helps (and doesn't help) set the stage for what's to come. How is a show affected when the antagonist is the one who opens the show? Plus you'll hear from
Angela Lansbury and her less than happy time being in the show.
The Sondheim Project is great!
