This rarely staged production directed by Tony winner Victoria Clark (Kimberly Akimbo) and featuring Kate Baldwin (Hello, Dolly!) and Nicholas Christopher (Encores! Jelly's Last Jam) is considered by some to be the first concept musical, an inspiration for musical theater favorites such as Cabaret, Chicago, and Company.
