Winner of six Tony Awards, Coleman’s masterpiece is that rarest of musical comedies: loaded with music and written in the contemporary jazz idiom, but also filled with sidesplitting comedy.
Set in the glamorous, seductive Hollywood of the ’40s, a world of flamboyant egos, casting couches and flimsy negligees, the show chronicles the hilarious misadventures of Stine, a young novelist attempting a screenplay for movie mogul Buddy Fidler (who’s read a synopsis of every book he’s ever written) while sparring with a character of his own creation, a hard-boiled gumshoe named Stone.
