Further Information Samel aHarris titled her review "Sweet songs from a sad life" a biographical tribute to Lorenz Hart of Rodgers and Hart. Harris notes the biographical content as sympathetically portrayed. However the episodic structure could be lessened. Beautiful costumes, outstanding singing and good performances enhanced the performance, but Harris felt they were diminished by their accents.
