Let's take a little break with some love advice from Kaye Ballard, who I understand was campaigning to play Fanny Brice in Funny Girl before Streisand was cast.
It's actually a great song and Ballard had a v. good voice!

This has turned into a kind of mini-marathon of very early Joan Blondell Pre-Codes. This is the 3rd movie w/Joanie I’ve seen so far today.

I’m sorry but most new musicals suffer from unengaging lyrics either lazy or lousy: or both. Birthday boy Sheldon Harnick wrote the zesty, eloquent lyrics for Fiddler on the Roof but also his masterpiece: She Loves Me.
We know nothing of this story until we hear it sung.
