The hit of the show was a long ensemble dance number at the beginning of the second act, in which an embezzler and his henchman are pursued to the Atlantic City beach while carrying a satchel full of stolen money: during the course of the number, they tangle with a large number of people -- including bathing beauties, lifeguards, other criminals, identical twins -- and one gorilla. The climax occurs when the Keystone Cops arrive. Director Jerome Robbins staged this number in the manner of a Mack Sennett silent slapstick film. THE SONGS
LONDON PRODUCTION The show opened at the Hippodrome on December 22 , 1948 and ran for 291 performances. |
