This adaptation of a hit off-Broadway musical that introduced the writing team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime, Anastasia, etc.) is a delightful throwback to the wacky farces that came out of England in the 1960s. Set in "1970ish", it would have undoubtedly been directed by Richard Lester and starred Dudley Moore and Susannah York, with a guest appearance by Peter Sellers. Now we have the charming Dominic Marsh and Tony Award winner Nikki M. James with a strong supporting cast, including several more Tony Award winners and nominees. Clever songs, animation, a German expressionistic nightmare, film noir images all add to the fun.
