Intriguing!

Wonder if this is a true one-off or if CSC is considering a revival of the show in a future season?

I can't say I loved the show at Encores a decade ago, but there are some great Bock & Harnick tunes and it is an interesting product of its time.

Thanks - I would love to see this if I could! (I can't).
