Based on the “Peanuts” comic strip, the 1965 TV special “A Charlie Brown Christmas” has become a holiday classic, watched by generations of viewers who have connected with the story
There was a point in time when
NUNSENSE, a mindless frolic conceived by composer and greeting card entrepreneur Dan Goggin was considered funny. It s a long way from the 80 s ~ its audiences and tastes ~ when a groaner like this could snag rave reviews and awards (Outer Critics Circle for best off-Broadway musical), attract the golden comedy queens of that era (the likes of Edie Adams, Kaye Ballard, Pat Carroll, Peggy Cass, Phyllis Diller, Sally Struthers, Joanne Worley) to perform in featured roles, spawn multiple adaptations and spinoffs, and become the second longest-running Off-Broadway show in history (after
The Fantasticks).
