Highlights
Synopsis
Full Length, Comedy / Characters: 3 male, 4 female Scenery: Interior Neil Simon's first Broadway comedy smash.
Alan Baker, a 30-ish swinging bachelor with time, money and women to spare, welcomes rebellious and eager 21-year brother Buddy into his den of iniquity while their horrified parents can only watch and pray.
This farcical 60's romp became a hit movie starring Frank Sinatra.
"A slick, lively, funny comedy."-The New York Times
Press Reviews
"Smoothly plotted and deftly written...Mr. Simon has served up a multitude of sprightly lines. Best of all, he has provided some explosively hilarious moments rooted in character."
— The New York Times
"The comic dialogue is delivered perfectly throughout, but there are also some hilarious pieces of purely physical comedy that bring the house down. It is only by a skilful setup and perfect timing that something as simple as opening a pencil dispenser could produce show-stopping laughter from the audience."
— British Theatre Guide
