Mathnet - Anything Went

there was a show on PBS called "Square One TV" - it was about math, and at the end they would show a short little show called "Mathnet".

one episode was about a theatre production of "Anything Went", something about the star being kidnapped and the understudy going on (very "All About Eve") and there was math talk about the nut and gross for a show.

i have looked everywhere and can't find any info on this, which is driving me crazy. i think the "diva" was Tammy Grimes, but i'm not sure. who was the sneaky understudy?

anyone, anyone, bueller?

I remember "Square One TV" and I remember "Mathnet"....however, I don't remember who was on that particular episode--I will try to find something on it too.

Here ya go:

3.4 "The Case of the Unkidnapping"
Episodes 316-320. Rerun in 336-340.
Directed by Charles S. Dubin
Co-Starring Tammy Grimes (Lauren Bacchanal), Sue Anne Gershenson (Eve Adams), Arnold Stang (Pop Bespectakled), Michael Sergio (Sgt. Abruzzi), Johnathan Freeman (Joshua), Lianne Kressin (Ms. Snood), John Bentley (Stage Hand), James Mellon (Tommy)



Kate is upbeat when her college friend Eve Adams visits Mathnet and talks about her role in the new revival of "Anything Went" starring Lauren Bacchanal on Broadway. Eve describes the financing of a Broadway play and gives Kate and George free tickets to the play's opening, which is a huge success... for Eve, and not for the obnoxious and aging star. Eve, the understudy, is given the lead when Lauren doesn't show up, but the evidence shows that Eve kidnapped her. The Mathnetters hear a phone message recording of touch tone notes. Using combinatorics and a wooden sliding device, they decode Lauren's location in Nyack. She claims that Eve, who is already in jail, performed the kidnapping at a time when Eve was actually performing a matinee.
