"In his 1968 Obie-Award winning musical, composer Al Carmines took
Gertrude Stein's nonsensical writings (based solely on her pleasure at
the way certain words sounded together) and added glorious musical to

The show starred Al Carmines himself, along with Theo Barnes, Jacque
Lynn Colton, Lee Crespi, Lee Guilliatt, James Hilbrandt, Julie Kurnitz,
George McGrath, Arlene Rothlein, Elaine Summers, David Tice, David
Vaughan, Arthur Williams, and Nancy Zala. The show was directed by
Lawrence Kornfeld. "
