This underappreciated musical flop closed with less than 2 weeks of performances. It had opened within two weeks of a musical hit boasting the emergence of a new star introducing a popular standard.
What was the flop? What was the hit? Who was the new star? What was the popular standard?
ANYONE CAN WHISTLE opened 4/4/64, and ran only 9 performances.
FUNNY GIRL opened less than 2 weeks earlier on 3/26/64. The rest became entertainment history.
