Cy Feuer

I can tell all of these stories that Rosemary told me that have never been in print.

And I'd also met Cy Feuer.

And Cy Feuer, of course, was 50% of the very famous Broadway producing team of Feuer and Martin.

They hired Frank Lester to write Guys and Dolls.

And so Fuhrer and Martin were a big deal.

But then they decided it wasn't for them.

Wasn't it they were pursuing a different musical that they wanted him to write music? But why did you have this legendary team pass on The Music Man?

And Cy Feuer, to the day I talked to him in his early 90s, said they always regretted it, obviously, you know, obviously.
