I recall, vaguely, that running a command remotely in this way causes SSH to manhandle your STDIO filehandles in such a way that some (most? all?) interactive programs will not work.

You need 'ssh -t ...'

By default, ssh assumes if there is an argument that the program is not
interactive, and doesn't allocate a pseudo-tty.  '-t' forces the tty
allocation so that interactive programs will work.
