Songs: “Never Gonna Dance” (lyrics, Dorothy Fields); plus songs by others. book:the-melody-lingers-on-the-great-songwriters-and-their-movie-hemming-roy-new-york#p134
Never Gonna Dance brought her another Outer Critics Circle Award and Tony nomination before she went back to work with Ellis, Loud, and Kander on Curtains. book:nothing-like-a-dame-conversations-with-the-great-women-of-musical-theater-eddie-#p321
"Waltz in Swing Time" (Never Gonna Dance). This was definitely the right title for the song, but certainly not the right title for the show, what with Jerry Mitchell’s generous amounts of Tony-nominated choreography. book:the-book-of-broadway-musical-debates-disputes-and-peter-filichia-rowman-littlefi#p215
