Tossup

In this musical’s original stage production and film version, a number set in a sewer was choreographed by Michael Kidd. Neon signs reading “Mindy’s” and “Hot Box” were (10[1])fixtures of an “immersive” 2023 staging of this musical by Nicholas Hytner at London’s Bridge Theatre. In this musical, a character reads a book that claims single women (10[1])“can develop ‘la grippe,’ ‘la post nasal drip’” in her namesake “Lament.” A number in this musical accuses a concept of having a “very unlady-like way of running out.” This musical alludes to its source author via its overture, “Runyonland.” New York and (10[1])Havana are the settings of this musical, whose numbers include “A Bushel and a Peck” and “Luck Be a Lady.” For 10 points, Sky Masterson and Nathan Detroit appear in what Frank Loesser (“LESS-er”) musical titled for two gendered groups?
