Tennis: Musical Numbers#1

Posted: 6/28/10 at 11:06am

Question: I am doing research for an academic project and am trying to remember what musical has a choreographed number involving tennis (on a tennis court). Frankly, I may be confusing this with an older movie, a la Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers or Gene Kelley.

Thanks for any and all help!

Maybe not what you're looking for, but first thing that came to mind was The Tennis Song from City of Angels.

"It does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are 20 gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket, nor breaks my leg." -- Thomas Jefferson

There was also the racquetball numbers in Falsettoland.

Not a per se musical number - but Rosencrants & Guildenstern Are Dead play Questions on a tennis court. It does have a rhythm to it, but I don't know that you can dance to it.

The flop musical "Music Is" had a number about tennis.
