The Body Beautiful
by Joseph Stein, Sheldon Harnick, Will Glickman, Jerry Bock
Synopsis
Dave, a struggling fight manager desperate for a contender, finds Bob, a recent Ivy League graduate who shows promise in the ring.
Dave's lively secretary Ann immediately falls for Bob.
As Dave and Ann connive a fantastic winning streak for their new client, Dave struggles to manage his ex-wives and Bob grows more confident and headstrong, threatening his burgeoning romance with Ann.
This first collaboration of Bock and Harnick, the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning creators of the long-running hits Fiorello!
, She Loves Me and Fiddler on the Roof , was their only show to take place in a contemporary setting.
