Thank you for your rational comments and your castigation of those who would label with a broad brush.
Who knows what subtle musical references to Harold Arlen's msuic from the "Wizard of Oz" Mr. Schwartz may have included? And who knows how many of them may have been inadvertant or subconscious? I;ve spotted a few of them myself, including some mentioned here, and a few others. But what purpose is served by sharing them? The whole point of discovering a hidden gem is discovering it you

Without a doubt:
"Home, Sweet Homer." Even Yul Brynner couldn't save this Mitch Leigh/Dale Wasserman disaster. Or is it the other way around?

Yes, and as a DC area resident I plan to see it. I've always liked the music from it, but have never seen it staged. I'll be interested to see if what has been stated here is accurate - that it is all musical fluff and no substance.
