Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur's classic comedy hasn't been seen on Broadway since 1950 (unless you count the 1978 musical adaptation), so the time would seem ripe for this revival. It is Chicago in the 1930s, and the closing night of Oscar Jaffee's latest theatrical disaster, a play about Joan of Arc. Producer/director Oscar, has failed to pay his cast for the last two weeks and they are not a very happy crew. Oscar escapes the angry company, leaving a message for his press agent, Owen O'Malley, and business manager, Oliver Webb, to meet him tomorrow on the Twentieth Century, a luxury liner bound for New York.
