A Day in Hollywood
- A Night in the Ukraine

Lyrics by Dick Vosburgh - Music by Frank Lazarus with contributions by Jerry Herman, Trevor Lyttleton, Richard Whiting, Ange Lorenzo

Mayfair Theatre, London - 28 March, 1979 (168 perfs)
Royale Theatre, Broadway - 1 May, 1980 (588 perfs)

A DAY IN HOLLYWOOD is the first half of this entertainment which takes us to the lobby of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in the 30s where 6 members of the ushering staff sing a musical tribute to the screen stars and productions of that magical era.

A NIGHT IN THE UKRAINE, a Marx Brothers movie the brothers never made, is set in the stately mansion of Mrs Pavlenko, a wealthy Ukrainian widow and introduces us to character types as featured in the Marx Brothers' films.

The mini-musical A NIGHT IN THE UKRAINE is based on Chekov's one-act play The Bear.
