"Come opening night, the show ran long, and the curtain came down shortly before midnight. We didn't lose many people in the au- dience, but we lost some. "I was looking at them, and I could tell that generally they were leaving only because it had gotten too late for them. Most of the people who left went up the aisle backwards so they could watch the stage until the last minute. "My mind was eased a bit, but I really didn't know how deeply anxious I was until the show was over and I went to the restaurant across the street from the Fisher where our cast had assembled. "I went to the men's room be- cause I thought I was going to faint. All of a sudden, I began to perspire, and within five minutes, I was soaking wet. All that anxi- ety had erupted in the form of perspiration, but once I stopped perspiring, I felt OK again. I'll never forget that. 'e didn't know the show was a success until almost a month later. When our subscription ran out, we discovered that the busi- ness was 90-95 percent. By the fourth week, it was close to sell- ing out, and we knew we were OK." Mr. Harnick, who has devel- oped other ties to Michigan by working on auto-show material, has an ongoing academic asso- ciation with the University of Michigan (U-M). At the invitation of Brent Wag- ner, director of the U-M Musical Theater Program, Mr. Harnick has tried out two plays —A Won- derful Life and Dragons — at the school and spent public evenings discussing his songs, which have not been restricted to musical the- ater. Mr. Harnick has written op- eras, songs for the movies and TV and translations of operas. Two new projects are being released this year. An opera for children, The Phantom Tollbooth, which was commissioned and staged by Opera Delaware, had Mr. Har- nick working on the book with Norton Juster and writing lyrics for Arnold Black's music. Soon to be seen is an animat- ed film written with five Harnick- Michel Legrand songs — The World Is One Big Chelm (Town of Fools). "I was a member of a lot of or- ganizations, but I resigned from most of them last year, when I turned 70," said Mr. Harnick. "They take so much time, and I want to devote myself mostly to whatever I'm capable of writing in these years that remain to me." The lyricist has retained mem- bership in the Dramatists Guild and the Songwriters Guild of America and continues to nomi-.
