Chuck Baxter’s greatest asset at his job is his small one-bedroom apartment on West 67th Street. In a ploy to advance his career, Chuck leaves the key with certain executives for “extra curricular activities” in exchange for the promise of promotion. Complications ensue when Chuck learns that Fran, the girl of his dreams, is secretly seeing his boss - in his apartment. Based on the 1961 Academy Winning Best Picture, The Apartment, Promises, Promises features a hilarious book by Neil Simon, Burt Bachrach’s only Broadway score and featured terrific choreography by a young Michael Bennett. The 1968 musical earned Tony Awards for Jerry Orbach and Marian Mercer. The infectious score features well-known Bachrach/David tunes: I Say A Little Prayer, I’ll Never Fall in Love Again, A House is Not a Home, Promises, Promises, She Likes Basketball and Turkey Lurkey Time.
The cast features Darren Ottati as Chuck Baxter and Shannon DuPuis as Fran Kubelik.
