I am shocked someone remember Tricks
I saw it & liked it . Naturally the critics did not deem it worth of Broadway & it folded quickly. The composers never did another show. It covered the same ground as The Glorious Ones
Another show Senator Joe

With music by Jule Styne, book & lyrics by Bob Merrill, direction by Gower Champion and the star power of Angela Lansbury, this show seemed surefire but never made it past its Boston tryout where the audience hissed or walked out and the critics were brutal.

I recently become enamoured, intrigued, whatever by a flop from the 1950's called "The Nervous Set" with music by Thomas Wolf and lyrics by Fran Landesman. It was about a group of "beatniks".
It's most famous for the song "The Ballad of Sad, Young Men" (though I believe that the song "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" was cut from it) and that it featured Larry Hagman in the cast (who was best known at the time as Mary Martin's son).
I'd like to know more about it, but the only thing I can find out about it is in Stephen Suskin's "Opening Nights on Broadway". Ken Mandelbaum doesn't mention it in "Not Since Carrie" and neither does Ethan Mordden in his book on fifties musicals.
If you go to www.bluegobo.com you can see a number from "Buck White" that appeared on the Ed Sullivan show.
The horror, the horror...
