USutton Foster ungene Isisa esimnandi .UMonique Carboni Ukuhla kwehla, ukunciphisa ixabiso, ukunciphisa ukuveliswa kwemiboniso ye-Broadway kunye negcuntswana labadlali abadlala iindima ezininzi kumanqanaba obungakanani beetawuli zesitya ziyaqondakala, ngakumbi nge-Reader's Digest iinguqulelo ezixineneyo zomculo obekhe wanesidima. Kodwa kwimeko yengxolo, splashy extravaganza enje nge smash hit Isisa esimnandi… ekhulelwe, eyenzelwe ubuchwephesha kwaye ikhokelwa nguthelekelelo, uBob Fosse, onencwadi elula nguNeil Simon, amanqaku amnandi nguCy Coleman kunye noDorothy Fields, kwaye edlala indawo kaGwen Verdon odumileyo, iimeko ezinobuzaza kunye nekhathuni ebekiweyo kunye neqela lamantombazana onke kwezintandathu apho ikhoyo iokhestra inokubonakala iyintlekele.
Entsha Isisa esimnandi, Ukunikezelwa kwe-Off-Broadway liqela elitsha kwiPerhing Square Signature Centre kwi-42nd Street, kucacile ukuba ijolise kubakhenkethi abangazange bawubone umboniso, okanye isizukulwana sasebusaneni xa imveliso yoqobo yayivulwa kwibhotwe ukuze kuma ii-ovations kwikhephu. NgoJanuwari ebusuku ngo-1966. Umboniso bhanyabhanya omdaka ngo-1969 noShirley MacLaine akenzanga nto ukugcina iinkumbulo ezimyoli. Kwaye ayisiyiyo le mvuselelo intsha ye-Off-Broadway kunye nebrassy kodwa i-lackluster uSutton Foster. Mediocre ligama lalo eliphakathi.
Libali elifanayo, ngokusekwe kwifilimu eyaziwayo yase-Italiya kaFederico Fellini Ubusuku beCabiria Owayebambise umfazi wakhe, uGiulietta Masina, kwisithsaba samazwe aphesheya njengehenyukazi elingumRoma eliqaqambileyo elihlala liphupha ngolonwabo luthando olunokuzisa kodwa lifumana kuphela usizi. U-Neil Simon utshintshe oohola bendlela aba diniweyo ukuba badinwe ziidime-a-dance hostesses kwi-tawdry ballroom abafuna ukubonisa inkcitho enkulu ixesha elililo nge-10 leesenti itikiti.
UVerdon, kunye nokugwilika kwakhe okugobileyo, iinwele ezibomvu kunye nelizwi elifana nonomyayi okhohlela, wajika indawo yenkwenkwezi yeCharity Hope Valentine ukuba ibe sisidenge esithandekayo kunye nexhoba elinama-arches awileyo, intliziyo yegolide kunye nobuchule bokudanisa . Wayebuhlungu kwaye ephuma kweli hlabathi. USutton Foster uphume nje kwinto yakhe. Ngaphandle kokulahlwa kaninzi ngumsinga wamakhwenkwe angamiselanga nto amba imali ayisebenzele nzima kunye nokuthembela kwakhe okungafanelekanga, mkhulu kakhulu kwaye uyaphazamisa ukuba abe buhlungu. UVittorio, inkwenkwezi yebhanyabhanya yase-Italiya angena kuyo ngexesha lokuhamba ngokuhlwa, ngoku nguJoel Perez, obonisa ilizwi elikhulu kwi-opera ye-ballad Too Many Tomorrow kodwa udlala ezinye iindima kumboniso wokuba ukubonakala kwakhe njengesithixo sefilimu esilahlayo kuphulukana Ixabiso lokumangaliswa. Kodwa ubuncinci ususa uCharity edolophini kwaye umngenise ekhaya ngenxa yempazamo athemba ukuba iya kuba bubusuku bothando, konke oko kumnika ithuba lokucula ukuba Abahlobo Bam Bangandibona Ngoku kunye nokudlala eyona ndawo yakhe ibalaseleyo -Ngokuzithandela esenza isandwich kwingcuka phantsi ngelixa efihla ekhabhathini kwintombi kaVittorio enomona. Foster usebenza nzima ukwenza uzive ngathi akasebenzi nzima kodwa uza kakuhle kumanani anokutsha azizela ngokwendalo.
U-Gwen Verdon wayekhwela ibhinqa elinye xa wayegudluza kwinqanaba le-Palace ngo-1966, ecula u-show-stop ndim Brass Band. Ukholelwe ngenene ukuba wayeyinto yonke ukusuka kwiPhilharmonic ukuya kwiJazz Quartet yanamhlanje. Umkhululi ulungile kwiimvakalelo zomhlaba, kodwa akaze achukumise okanye abuhlungu U-waif omncinci naye zimanzi ukuba yigamine. Lo mboniso uhlaselwa ngumlingo kaGwen Verdon.
Ukuphela okumnandi (ukwaliwa kunye nokushiywa kwakhona ngesinye isithende) kuyinyani kwiklasikhi yaseFellini, kodwa ikamva loonongogo lingakulila. Isisa esimnandi iwa ithe tyaba kuba ngaphandle komsebenzi otyhafileyo onombona kwizithende zakhe, akukho nto ibuhlungu iyoyikwa malunga nesiphelo somdanisi weteksi onqenayo ukusebenza iishifti zeKrisimesi eBloomingdale.
