He returned to Broadway, after another Hollywood hiatus, with 1979’s bouncy, long-run pop hit They’re Playing Our Song, with lyrics by Carol Bayer Sager and a slick, funny libretto by Neil Simon. book:broadway-musicals-the-101-greatest-shows-of-all-time-bloom-ken-1949-vlastnik-fra#p71
This became a sketchy, gimmicky musical with a negligible score pro- vided by the prototypes themselves. They're Playing Our Song was a severe letdown compared to Simon’s previous musicals, Little Me (1962), Sweet Charity (1966), and Promises, Promises (1968). book:more-opening-nights-on-broadway-a-critical-quotebook-of-compiled-by-steven-suski#p924
They’re Playing Our Song were all part of the season, but only the last two were successful. book:not-since-carrie-forty-years-of-broadway-musical-flops-ken-mandelbaum#p278
