ProductionStone said "It is amazing how many opportunities the play offers for musical comedy. I have added no new scenes although there are certain expasions to allow for musicalization. And I have not created any new characters. Shaw, who wrote the play 52 years ago, used contemporary language. There are no anachronisms and the jokes he used were modern.""[1] The Shaw estate had to approve any changes to the text.[2] ReceptionThe Los Angeles Times called it "toothless".[3] The New York Times said it "took unhappy toll of varied talents" and "wavered diconcertingly in its indecision over whether to be serious or to have fun" with a "lack of light touch in the staging".[4] Songs
