Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 3, 2021 Members Share Posted January 3, 2021 Victor Gialanella, who went on to write for daytime soaps, talks about his play that became a Broadway musical that would be included in a very exclusive club-of shows that closed on their opening night. Oh how I love a good yarn about an expensive Broadway flop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 3, 2021 Members Share Posted January 3, 2021 Thanks for posting. Very interesting as I enjoy BTS stuff. Wouldn't it be great if there was similar stuff about what went wrong at short lived and cancelled soaps from those involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 4, 2021 Author Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 It would probably be very juicy, Please register in order to view this content . Someone kinda tried with that podcast series years ago but it had too few perspectives. Also, the focus was too generalized, not enough specificity. I always enjoy reading the oral history of a film, or any account where people actually go "on the record" about what happened BTS od a show. And you're right, with cancelled soaps those who worked on the show would feel freer to be candid about what it was like. I'd love to hear from the writers in particular, as there are so few left from the Golden Ages of daytime soaps to talk about it. We have lost so many already. Why aren't we getting everyone else's narrative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 When that OLTL oral history came out I was so excited there would be others. I would kill for one about Y&R and GH. Kay Alden has so much to share and by now she has to have zero f@cks to give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
