Therefore, the second-act climax of Sherry! moved

54-806: A musical.’ They told me if I was ever going to do one I’d be perfect in the Monty Woolley role. Of course it wasn’t perfect and I never should have gone near it, but I did.

The highly critical and extremely egotistical Whiteside commandeers the household and staff and disrupts the lives of everyone who comes within his orbit, including his private secretary Maggie Cutler, journalist - playwright Bert Jefferson, Broadway diva Lorraine Sheldon, antic Harpo Marx -like comedian Banjo, bon vivant Beverly Carlton, and absent-minded physician and aspiring memoirist Dr. Bradley.

270-434: The taut Kaufman-Hart humor of the original play was diluted by the inclusion of mediocre musical numbers that were dropped into the action rather than allowed to evolve naturally from the plot.
