註釋

"It's not a musical and it's not about Al Jolson," says the playwright. The title is meant to remind us of Jolson's film portrayer Larry Parks. Parks, appeared in both "The Jolson Story," and "Jolson Sings Again," wa called upon as the first witness to testify before Senator Joseph McCarthy's House Un-American Activities Committee. This is a play about that bleak period. "Parks thought by testifying to the committee, it would save his career. He begged the committee not to name names, and that turned the public off," says Laurents, who, unlike Parks, is a survivor of the mid-century witch-hunt that short circuited, and sometimes ruined, careers"--Playbill.com.
