More than half of “The View” on ABC TV in my neighborhood was preempted by President Bush’s news conference this morning. (Thank God for small mercies.) Towards the end of the show, Michael Arden and various dancers came out and performed Like A Rolling Stone. I thought it was quite good, a pretty punchy portrayal of the song that looks like it would work very well on a theater stage. The line about “the jugglers and the clowns” really stood out in the circus-y context. So, it doesn’t demonstrate whether the show will succeed or fail, but it was, at least in my “view,” a definite positive. Success or failure will be determined by Broadway theater-goers and critics.
