Interesting to realize how forgotten this show is.
It covered the careers of the same entertainers that Barry Manilow's HARMONY did; but this one actually managed to make it to Broadway for 17 critically-loathed performances.
Well, it's a long time ago...

Wow, that is a blast from the past that I am surprised anyone remembered.
I actually worked at the American Music Theater Festival (later, after I left, it became known as The Prince Music Theater) while the piece was being developed. So I sat through many rehearsals, techs, and performances. I had nothing to do with the transfer but always was proud to say a show I worked on went to Broadway. That being said, I thought it was an odd fit for Broadway, especially given that the Manilow show was getting a lot of notice at the time. This was not a traditional musical in any sense and wondered how it would play there. And as you mentioned it only took 17 performances to get the answer.
