If I Had My Druthers

I see there's a production of Li'l Abner in Westwood. I hear it's pretty good. I might go check it out. (I did the show in high school.)

The show was a hit on Broadway in 1956--same year as My Fair Lady--but it's never been revived. This is probably because it's a satire on the era, not to mention the Li'l Abner comic strip stopped running about 30 years ago.

It should still be a lot of fun--colorful characters, nice tunes and clever lyrics. Maybe it's time for New Yorkers to see it again.
