By Dick Vosburgh & Frank Lazarus. Two one-act plays provide a double feature more hilarious than any presented in Hollywood’s heyday. Winner of two Tony Awards and a hit Broadway production.
The first act, A Day in Hollywood, is a revue of classic Hollywood songs of the 1930s performed by singing and dancing ushers from Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the iconic Hollywood landmark.
The second act, A Night in the Ukraine, is loosely based on The Bear: A Joke in One Act by the great Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. The Bear is a three-character play, but the author of A Night in the Ukraine adds Nina and Constantine, the lovers from Chekhov’s The Seagull.
The score of A day in Hollywood/ A Night in the Ukraine combines songs by composer Frank Lazarus and lyricist Dick Vosburg, three songs by Jerry Herman and many movie musical standards.
