La Ronde (Bentley)
Eric Bentley


Awards & Recognition
Nominee: Four 1962 Tony Awards
Anatol, the most famous ladies man in turn of the century Vienna, decides that he's finished with love - he wants to get married.
All his amours - from a magician's assistant to a society wife to the third swan from the left in the royal ballet - face this prospect with varying reactions, adding up to an evening of hilarity.
When Anatol discovers, however, that his timid "frau" is a great deal more lively than he had expected, it is he who has the last laugh!

"A sumptuous slice of strudel… stuffed with a tart story and tangy score."
— Ronald Evans
"A great, big, gorgeous confection filled with good, solid entertainment. The lyrics are deft… and the music is a full-bodied score."
— New York Daily News
