"Following the smashing opening night performance of August 21,1983, Jerry Herman walked out of the Palace Theatre onto Times Square. Heknew he had nothing else to prove, he had shown his critics as well as hisdetractors that he could still write a big Broadway hit. And, with nothing else toprove, he vowed never to write another show for Broadway." From page 224 of Jerry Hermans Lyrics by Ken Bloom. Mark E (talk) 17:43, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
