I was pleasantly surprised by the charm, sporadic really good song and dance number, strong comic performances and, key word, escape, provided by this musical rendition of the much-loved Sydney Pollack film. The shenanigans of a down-and-out New York actor with one last arrow in his quiver. So much fun.
