We're about to get the first CD release of the score for the 1966 revue based on guess-what-magazine. Longtime MAD scribes Larry Siegel and Stan Hart did the book, with music by Mary Rodgers and lyrics by a couple of folks, one of whom turned out to be Stephen Sondheim. You can read more about it here and order the new CD here. I've never seen a production of the show, which had an amazingly sparse afterlife. You'd think a small musical with such name recognition would be snapped up by little theater groups and college troupes…but nope.
Rumor has it that it only ran as long as it did in New York because MAD publisher Bill Gaines had made a bet with a friend that the show would play for two years…so when it seemed primed to close before that, he waived royalties and even kicked in cash to keep it open at a loss. I do have the album, which I enjoyed, but it's always nice to have these things on CD.
