Fig Leaves Are Falling

Albert Hague and Allan Sherman’s 'The Fig Leaves Are Falling' arrived at the Lyceum Theatre in 1969, running for a brief, highly publicized commercial residency of just 4 official performances before closing, remaining an essential prize find for lyric stage scholars tracking late-century failures. The fast-paced contemporary musical comedy farce follows a conventional suburban husband who treats his domestic arrangements to an intricate campaign of deceptions when he falls into an affair, directed by George Abbott.
