Around this production
The show was a unique Broadway hybrid — part concert, part sketch comedy, part musical. Marc Shaiman (Hairspray) played piano onstage and wrote original songs. Short changed and updated the show throughout its run, keeping it fresh for repeat audiences.
Memorable Opening Night Note: A note from an 87-year-old Austrian actress I know who is a Holocaust survivor, which said “Toi toi toi, the best is yet to come!” Also, it wasn't on opening night, but a friend who had just been asked for a divorce by her husband sent me flowers with a note that said “Fame becomes you. Divorce becomes me.” The Playbill Broadway Yearbook Third Annual Edition Viagas Robert 3rd Annual Ed , p. 287
