'He is really the best show-man, best producer that's come along - probably better than Ziegfeld. He's had more hits than Ziegfeld.' (Joshua Logan)
'David Merrick is a guy who has a pencil and he figures out how much it costs, but he doesn't contribute anything in the way of ideas.' (Brooks Atkinson, New York Times critic)
with the recorded comments of: Anna Maria Alberghetti, Michael Bennett, Gower Champion, Burton Lane, Johnny Mercer, David Merrick, Robert Morse, Jerry Orbach
