Expression of the Day: "People don't leave the theater...."
"People don't leave the theater whistling the scenery"-- even if the set is impressive and has lots of tricks, it doesn't make a musical a hit. Great musicals depend on a tight book, a wonderful score and memorable lyrics.
(The photo above is very old.) I presently carry out author interviews for the website LitHub.com, but before that I worked as a book columnist for the Newark Star-Ledger from January 2002 to June 2012. I have written for the New York Observer, the New York Post, the Denver Post and other newspapers.
