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” (10[1])and “Hot Box” were 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 “can develop ‘la grippe,’ (10[1])‘la post (10[1])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 Havana are the settings of this musical, whose numbers include (-5[1])“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? ■END■ (10[3])
