Around this production
That's Entertainment is a 1972 musical revue featuring the music of songwriting team Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz that uses orchestrations and arrangements by Luther Henderson. The show's book was crafted by uncredited writers. Historian Howard Dietz stated that the show's authors "created character names for all the singers and utilized snatches of dialogue in an awkward attempt to place the songs in a fabricated story context."
