Grind (musical)
''Grind'' is a musical with a book by Fay Kanin, music by Larry Grossman, and lyrics by Ellen Fitzhugh. ''Grind'' is a portrait of a largely African-American burlesque house in Chicago in the Thirties.
The reviews were mixed at best. In his ''New York Times'' review, Frank Rich wrote: "...the show has become a desperate barrage of arbitrary musical numbers, portentous staging devices, extravagant costumes..., confused plot twists and sociological bromides..." "Grind" fared poorly at the box office; "The production was a disaster; the show lost its entire $4.75 million investment, and Prince and three other members of the creative team were suspended by the Dramatists Guild for signing a "substandard contract." 〔(''New York Times'', Jesse McKinley, May 17, 2002 )〕 1985 was a bad year for Broadway musicals, and only one hit (''Big River'') had emerged by the time Tony nominations were submitted. Since there was little decent competition, "Grind" received a Tony nomination for Best Musical. Ken Mandelbaum wrote of the season: "The original ''Big River'' came along at the end of a dismal season for new musicals, and ''Leader of the Pack'', ''Quilters'', and the fascinating but unworkable ''Grind'' posed virtually no competition.〔Ken Mandelbaum, "The Insider", 5/24/2004, broadway.com〕
Even critics who hated ''Grind'' were impressed by Leilani Jones' performance: Frank Rich wrote: "Miss Jones, in her Broadway debut, is a find - a gifted young performer lacking only a little flash." She received the Tony Award, the Drama Desk Award, and the Theatre World Award as Best Featured Actress in a Musical that year.
