Henry, Sweet Henry - repro

Bob Merrill and Nunnally Johnson’s whimsical 1967 musical comedy 'Henry, Sweet Henry' opened at the Palace Theatre under the precise direction of George Roy Hill, running for a successful commercial engagement and capturing multiple major Tony nominations. Based on the celebrated novel and film *The World of Henry Orient*, the fast-paced plot centers on Henry Orient, an unctuous, avant-garde Manhattan avant-garde musician who has meticulously engineered a swinging bachelor lifestyle, collapsing into frantic panic when two wealthy, hyper-imaginative teenage schoolgirls develop an obsessive crush on him and systematically stalk his secret affairs. The production starred Don Ameche and a young Alice Playten.
