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 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,’ ‘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 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? ■END■
