More on How Now, Dow Jones
Description from Wikipedia:
How Now, Dow Jones is a Broadway musical comedy. From an original concept by Carolyn Leigh, the book was written by Max Shulman, the lyrics by Leigh herself, and the music by Elmer Bernstein. The original production, which premiered at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on 7 December 1967, was produced by David Merrick and directed by George Abbott. The lead parts were played by Tony Roberts (Charley), Marlyn Mason (Kate), Brenda Vaccaro (Cynthia), and Hiram Sherman (Wingate); other now-familiar names in the original cast included Tommy Tune as a Waiter, and Barnard Hughes as Senator McFetridge.
Although nominated for several Tony Awards -- best actors (Roberts and Vaccaro), best director (Abbott), best musical (Merrick), and best score (Bernstein and Leigh) -- only Sherman won, for best featured actor in a musical. The show, criticized even at the time for being slick and unbelievable, was a Broadway failure (after 220 performances, or about 6 months), but one of the songs -- "Step to the Rear" -- has had some appeal; it was soon used in television commercials for Dodge cars, and was even adapted into the college fight song of University of South Carolina .
The script is full of topical and cultural references highly specific to 1968; one entire scene in the play -- requiring a set, costumes and actors not used anywhere else in the production -- was an elaborate parody of a then-current Dreyfus Fund commercial depicting a lion emerging from a subway to stride down Wall Street, and many jokes rely on audience's familiarity with Lane Bryant and The Graduate. The plot concerns a young stockbroker who refuses to marry his fiancee until the Dow Jones Industrials Average reaches 1,000 (as of 1967, the daily average had never yet reached that peak).
