There was that critic in
Philadelphia" said Howard
soon after the opening of his
musical saratoga" on
Broadway. He blasted us
unfairly, 1 thought. I don't
think it's right for a re-
viewer to get cute with ad-
jectives, regardless of the
merit of a play. So I called
him on it-not in person,
but on a radio show.
Then" continued Howard,
there was a member of our
cast. All she did during re-
hearsalS was to complain
and tell everyone how things
should be done. 1 waited
until after opening night to
tell HER what l thought of
