...with interviewers about his libretto for CBS's musical Aladdin, he mused: "It is an extremely simple story known to every unintelligent schoolboy. Very little exists beyond the bare bones of the legend. It will take 90 minutes. That means a whole lot of me ringue." Producer Richard (Cinderella} Lewine spooned up $350,000 worth of meringue, enough to satisfy all the princes of Persia - and give viewers indigestion...
