Line 1:
{{work}}
A 1968 musical comedy adaptation of the [[Billy Wilder]] film ''[[
The show was notable for being the Bacharach-David team's only foray into musical theater--Bacharach by his own admission was something of a [[Control Freak]] regarding the show, and seemed to feel that without him personally conducting the orchestra every night, there was no guarantee the music would sound the way he intended. Regardless of how he felt about theater, the show was well-received and spawned a few hit songs (the title number, as well as "I'll Never Fall In Love Again"). Notable among the original cast members is a 33-year old Jerry Orbach as Chuck, in a role that won him a Tony.
Line 18:
* [[Lemony Narrator]]: Chuck's narration tends to be a little...offbeat, to say the least.
* [[Rewritten Pop Version]]: Both the title song and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" were recorded and became hits after the original run.
* [[The Sixties]]: The revival is actually set earlier in the 1960s than the original, presumably to capitalize upon the popularity of ''[[
* [[Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion]]: Chuck's responses to Fran in "You'll Think Of Someone", due to the fact that he [[Cannot Spit It Out]]...until after she leaves, that is.
