Today, he could marry his boyfriend in many states (including New York). There is a long and tearful monologue by a man about how difficult his life is as closeted gay.

Young people today probably know more about Cleopatra than they do about dancer Verdon. How many people remember the late Goulet? (Or even Will Ferrell as Robert Goulet on SNL?) A girl said she wants to grow up to be Gwen Verdon.

A singer talks about Robert Goulet as a famous movie star. There are people and events mentioned in the script that are hardly known to today’s younger generation. By any measure, it has been a landmark event in show business. It has toured the world and was revived on Broadway for a short time in 2006, and was even a movie (a bad one, at that). The play debuted in 1975 and won the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award. The whole musical, with its tunes, re-emphasizes the American dream. The dancers battle truculent parents, angry bosses, untalented high school teachers, bullies and obstinate directors. It also is the story of the American dream. Some, such as "What I Did for Love" and "One," the finale, are downright sensational. Many tell the dancers’ history, such as "Everything Was Beautiful at the Ballet," the story of how a girl spends her life in dance school to keep away from her troubled family. Some, like "Dance: Ten, Looks: Three," better known as the Tits and Ass number, are funny others, such as "Nothing," are sad. Each character has problems of some sort that come out in monologues or songs. They not only have to show the dance director that they can hoof it, but must reveal their innermost secrets so he can get a feel for their personalities. The musical is the story of several dozen dancers trying to win eight roles in a new play. The Hamlisch music is still both dazzling and poignant and, even though it's thirty-seven years old, the show shakes the walls of the theater. It's staged like the 1975 version, with emotional acting from an ensemble of dancers. Yet another revival of the musical just opened at the Paper Mill Playhouse, in Millburn, N.J., and like the Broadway show, this one is a winner. Hamlisch, one of America’s premier composers, died last August, but his music, especially his songs from A Chorus Line, lives on.

He laughed and said something like, “You’re only as good as your last song.” I asked him something about staying successful in such a tough business for so long. We had been talking about his work, that included songs that would win three Oscars, Four Emmys and Four Grammys. We were so high up that planes and helicopters flew beneath us. After lunch, we walked over to the restaurants window walls and looked out over Manhattan.

I had a lunch interview with Marvin Hamlisch, who wrote the music for the smash 1975 Broadway musical A Chorus Line, twenty years ago at Windows on the World restaurant, the eatery on the very top of the World Trade Center.
