"Wholesale" was just done by York Theater Co as part of its "Musicals in Mufti" series.
How about "Sarava"?

"Sarava"--is that the Carole-Lawrence-in-blackface Edna Ferber debacle?
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."

"The Boyfriend" I think its a great show and no one knows about it.

Peggyandvelma, are you speaking of The Medium, the Gian Carlo Menotti opera? It's a cool piece, but I think it's considered opera. It's got some great music...lots of young sopranos use Monica's two big songs regularly. Check it out, everyone!

"Sarava" was a musical based on the movie "Dona Flor And Her Two Husbands," and starred Tovah Feldshuh.
Never heard of Carol Lawrence in blackface (lucky for me!)

The Lieutenant 1975; the shortest running musical to have been nominated for Best Musical. 9 performances and maybe a week of previews at the Lyceum. It was a lousy year. The other nominees were Mack & Mabel, Shenandoah and the winner, The Wiz. It was also nominated for book, score and lead actor who was a very talented unknown named Eddie Mekka, later to achieve celebrity on Laverne and Shirley.
Plot: well, this show was suggested by the Calley massacre in Vietnam. [I need to pause and quote Anna Russell: "I'm not making this up you know."] I think there was one woman in the cast and the rest were singing rock-opera soldiers.
This all said, there have been shows that have been a lot worse that played a lot longer. The energy of the cast more than made up for any artistic shortness.

STRANGE VACATION with book & lyrics by Allan Heinberg (now a writer & producer from Fox's THE O.C.) and music by Michael Rupert. The workshop starred the one and only Anthony Rapp.

Did anyone on this board see THUNDER KNOCKING ON MY DOOR (I think that's the title) starring Leslie Uggams? Was it any good?
