You Fascinate Me So: The Life And Times Of Cy Coleman - Plot & Excerpts
“It Needs Work” When The Life played its final performance, Coleman was just one week away from his sixty-ninth birthday and still a newlywed. He had spent the bulk of the previous five years doing everything in his power to see that the musical reached Broadway, even as he embarked on his new relationship, and though he had juggled a quartet of projects (The Life, along with City of Angels, Will Rogers, and Welcome to the Club) along with personal matters just ten years before, he had not laid out a similar array of new shows for himself as the 1990s wound down. True, there had been small projects (notably the mini–movie musical A Simple Melody), and Coleman had continued his philanthropic work. There had also been talk of shows that he might be working on, ranging from a musicalized version of the 1957 film Sweet Smell of Success to a stage version of the iconic film A Star Is Born for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Really Useful Company, but only one show had gone beyond the talking phase while Coleman was getting The Life into production.
