A popular Broadway musical comedy, which opened in New York in 1962 and ran to 1965.

1964: Performed at the Johannesburg Civic, having been brought to the country by Hymie Udwin’s Theatre International. Directed by Elaine Perry with American actors Nancy Coleman, Roland Winters, Helen Lewis and James Kirkwood.
