Little Theatre Musical Book by James Hindman. Original Music by Patrick Brady. Original Lyrics by Mark Waldrop., Patrick S, Brady and others. 1 m., 1 f., 3 on stage musicians. Int. Staged as a live taping of a 1968 television special that reunites a divorced singing duo, this kitschy spoof had New York critics singing its praises. As Pete and Keely stroll down memory lane (in eye popping costumes) reprising songs from their days of stardom, they take "unscripted" swipes at each other that dredge up hilarious moments from their turbulent past. This small scale musical from the director of When Pigs Fly and the producer of The Mystery of Irma Vep features unforgettable renditions of the era's popular favorites as well as original songs in the spirit of the times. "Campy [with] nostalgic belly laughs." N.Y. Times. "A rattling good time.... The score is a mix of golden oldies, including a clever travelogue made of songs about every state in the Union, and silver newies.... A snappy scenario emerges ... [that] should leave no one unsmiling." New York Magazine. "The brightest, happiest, and most entertaining little show in town." New York Observer. "A sequined, bell bottomed parade of escalating fabulousness!" Newsday. Terms quoted on application. Music available on rental. Standard rental package includes: Piano/Conductor’s Score Bass Drums (No Chorus Books available.) Click below for additional materials: CD - Cast recording.
