Merlin (musical)
''Merlin'' was a musical based on a concept by popular illusionist Doug Henning and Barbara De Angelis, written by Richard Levinson and William Link, with music (and incidental music) written by Elmer Bernstein and lyrics by Don Black.
==Production history==
''Merlin'' opened on Broadway at the Mark Hellinger Theatre on February 13, 1983 and closed on August 7, 1983 after 199 performances and 69 previews. It was directed by Ivan Reitman and choreographed by Christopher Chadman and Billy Wilson. The cast included Henning as Merlin, Chita Rivera as an evil sorceress and, in supporting roles, newcomer Nathan Lane and a young Christian Slater.〔(" ''Merlin'' on Broadway" ) playbillvault.com, accessed March 20, 2015〕
The show was not a critical or financial success and is remembered today chiefly because of the number of "preview" performances it played: while most shows play a month or so prior to inviting critics and having an official opening, Merlin had 69, never inviting the critics and postponing the opening three times, despite charging full ticket prices.〔Rich, Frank. ("Stage: Magic Of 'Merlin' Is In Henning's Illusions )''New York Times'', , January 31, 1983〕 During the musical's troubled tryouts, the original director (Frank Dunlop) was replaced by Co-Producer Reitman and choreographer Billy Wilson was added.〔Mandelbaum, Ken.(Henning ) ''Not Since Carrie: Forty Years of Broadway Musical Flops'' (books.google.com), 1992, Macmillan, ISBN 1466843276, p.46〕 The tune for the song "Put a Little Magic in Your Life" had previously supported a different lyric: "These Are Not the Merriest of Days".
