What is the plot of this show? I saw them do Turkey Lurky Time in CAMP but what is it about?

A man (Chuck)who lends his apartment to businessmen having affairs, and if I remember correctly, is in love with one of the girls (Fran)that the businessman (Sheldrake) is having an affair with.

Great score. Great book. The cast recording is a must have.

I belive that It is set at an office holiday party, and the office girls sing it. Basically an excues for dancing, and a showcase number for Bennett's choreography and his muse, McKechnie. It's not a plot number.

There are clips on amazon.com. If you like Burt Bacharach, you'll love the cd. "I'll Never Fall in Love Again", which you've probably heard as a pop song, is also from the show. Jerry Orbach is the lead.

I had the original cast recording album in 1970 and I have the cd now....I love it ....what a great show that was......Jerry Orbach and the supporting cast were all great, Michael Bennett's choreography was incredible, the Bachrach and David score was awesome and the Neil Simon book made it the singular funniest musical I have ever seen.

There is a recording out now but it is rare. I only know one person who has it (the original cast). It is like 80 dollars or something on amazon (I THINK I remember reading that --- I might be making that up though because I am working on a math paper and numbers are just kind of all...mixing).

When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere
