Revivals

theatre rounds ~

NEW YORK (AP) — It
may be 1960, but Broadway
these days has a flavor that
recalls 1943; 1954 or 1957.

The last’ three are the
years the musicals
Oklahoma, Peter Pan and
West Side Story premiered

here.

All have returned now, and
flve more revivals are
planned: Music Man (1957),
Brigadoon (1947), Can-Can
(1853), My Fair Lady (1956)
and Camelot (1960).

True, 12 somewhat more

"modern musicals” also are.

‘ running, Yanging from the
brandnew Reggae to the
senlor-grade Oh! Calcutta!
that first bared its cast to
New York audiences in 1969.

Does all. this mean
Broadway is stagnating,
retreating to the past, afraid
to gamble the $t-million-plus
it costs to put on a musical,
playing it safe with ‘the
golden oldies?

No, says producer Zev
Bufman. He thinks Broad- .
way.is in “sort of a holding |
: tern” while it prepares to

cose what he feels will be an
explosion of new musicals.
and plays next season.

Bufman Is co-producer of
three hit revivals, which he:

prefers to call classics —
Oklahoma, Peter Pan and
West Side Story. And he'll
revive Brigadoon in
November, - ;
He offers no a ogies for

hits. ‘He thinks they’re as

He feels there has been a
temporary, but severe,
shortage of new musicals
that could fill. theatres:

Bufman, 49, a former
Ieraéli commando who

emigrated to the U.S. about -
25 years ago and now lives —

here and in Miami, got a
start. in ‘showbusiness
through a Hollywood bond
rally for Israel. He was
asked to address the rally,
not realizing that’ many of
the 600 people present were
influential film folk.

His speech, in a heavy,
Jewish ecent ‘he’s alnce lost,
led to a minor acting job in
the’ adventure epic called
Flight to Tangiers.

He began easing out

erie and into producing in 7

hopes ‘that operation fan
Btart in December.

If all goes well,. he says,
he'll revive three major:
musicals a year, each
running 10 weeks and sup-
ported by subscription. The
idea is to make the City
Centre “a musical theatre li-
brary. ?

ect involved. in this
project, he says, Mee

ber “I think we'll

have reached a saturation
point as far as filling 10
houses with classics, on
Broadway. *

“So we'll pull back -and
work mostly out of one
theatre, at City Centre. I also

__ feel there's now endugh new

“material collecting, new.
Broadway shows, at the

. other theatres will be =
needed.

“And there'll be enough
new product to mt those
