… Return of the singing cowboy | About Last Night.

A Tommy Tune-directed glitzmobile with a score by Cy Coleman, Betty Comden and Adolph Green and a book by Peter Stone (“1776”), it ran for 981 performances and won six Tonys, including the best-musical and best-original-score prizes. But “The Will Rogers Follies” has yet to return to Broadway, and even though it continues to be staged on occasion by amateurs and students, professional productions of the show have long since become rare enough that I made a point of going to Goodspeed Musicals’ revival to find out what I’d been missing—and was very happily surprised by how entertaining it proved to be.
