Choose options
Mary Rodgers, Martin Charnin, and Jack Weinstock’s musical comedy 'Hot Spot' launched its historic, heavily publicized 1963 pre-Broadway out-of-town tryout engagement at Washington’s historic National Theatre. The fast-paced satirical plot centers on Sally Hopwinder, a fiercely well-meaning but wildly incompetent Peace Corps volunteer who is dispatched to the tiny, impoverished fictional country of D’hum, orchestrating an intricate web of international deceptions to trick the U.S. government into sending financial foreign aid. Directed by Jerome Robbins, this early tryout variant records the developing performance blueprints starring comedic icon Judy Holliday.
