In terms of counting miracles… I would add as number four – the willingness of Michael David to bring Dodger on board. After all, these were two guys who had never written a musical – or even written for the theater in general. Add into the equation the curse of a so-called ‘juke box’ musical and the challenges of making even a good show turn a worthwhile profit. With little evidence, Mr. David saw the potential and took the chance. Four Seasons, FOUR miracles.

I found it very interesting that Frankie & Bob didn’t see a performance until they were sitting with a full audience. There’s such an experiential leap from a written script to a live performance. That was smart – but probably difficult.
