This half-forgotten Kander and Ebb show lasted barely a month in 1971, done in, perhaps, by a needlessly complicated book about denizens of an old folks' home becoming shoplifters. Still, many of the numbers have a certain quirky charm. The songs were more or less (usually less) integrated into the plot, each one an excuse for a different cast member to ham it up. 'Coffee in a Cardboard Cup' is a fiery, hilarious showstopper ('drearier' rhymes with 'cafeteria') while the wistful 'Home' deserves to be rediscovered. This sleeper of a show will particularly delight those in need of a little something to gnaw on between Cabaret and Chicago, as Kander and Ebb's trademark mix of honky-tonk vaudeville and ultramelodic sentimentality is in evidence all through the score.
