Overview

The last great musical by the team that wrote That's Entertainment and Dancing In The Dark! Anatol, the most famous ladies' man in turn of the century Vienna, decides that he's finished with love - he wants to get married. All his amours - from a magician's assistant to a society wife to the third swan from the left in the royal ballet - face this prospect with varying reactions, adding up to an evening of hilarity. When Anatol discovers, however, that his timid "frau" is a great deal more lively than he had expected, it is she who has the last laugh!
