Two on the Aisle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two on the Aisle is a musical revue with a book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and music by Jule Styne.
The project marked Comden and Green's return to Broadway following their successful reign at MGM (where they penned the classic Singin' in the Rain and The Band Wagon, among others) and their first teaming with composer Styne. An evening of comedy routines and splashy musical numbers with Las Vegas-type showgirls, it was developed specifically to showcase the talents of Bert Lahr.
After one preview, the show, directed by Abe Burrows, opened on July 19, 1951 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre, where it ran for 276 performances. In addition to Lahr, the cast included Dolores Gray and Stanley Prager.
An original cast album was released by Decca Records.
