| Master, Baron von Hummer, and his valet, Gaston, switch places and fall in love with mistress, Mme. Von Baltin, and maid, Maria, who have also switched places. Adding spice to this amorous stew is Ida, the Baron's jilted paramour, and 'the outraged husband'. This work was written as a chamber piece but arrived on Broadway in a much larger version. Not only are we restoring the original libretto, we have restored 10 Cole Porter songs that had been cut." Songs: "I Am Gaston"; "By Candlelight"; "Alpha to Omega"; "At Long Last Love"; "What Is that Tune?"; "For No Rhyme or Reason"; "Let's Put It to Music"; "I'm Back in Circulation"; "I'm Going In For Love"; and "What Shall I Do?" | |||||
