I thought that by theming the show, you could be really successful. Hamlisch still has his sights set on creating a national profile for the pops program, one that rivals Boston and Cincinnati. The Pittsburgh Pops has toured just twice during his tenure, and Hamlisch considers that a liability. The biggest drawback is we don't tour. We don't have the sponsors and money to do so.
Pops is underwritten.
