This revival opened September 24th, 1976 and closed August 6th, 1989 after 5,959 performances. The revival briefly became the longest-running show in Broadway history and remains Broadway's sixth longest-running show and the longest-running revue in Broadway history.) ..... "OH! CALCUTTA!" is an avant-garde theatrical revue, created by British drama critic Kenneth Tynan.The show, consisting of sketches on sex-related topics, debuted Off-Broadway in 1969 and then in London in 1970. The show sparked considerable controversy at the time, because it featured extended scenes of full-frontal nudity, both male and female. The title is taken from a painting by Clovis Trouille, itself a pun on "O quel cul t'as!" French for "What an arse you have!". Tynan had hoped that Harold Pinter would direct the production, in order to give it avant-garde legitimacy, but Pinter declined. Sketches in the Original Off-Broadway production were written by, amongst others, Nobel prize winner Samuel Beckett, John Lennon, Sam Shepard, Leonard Melfi, Edna O'Brien, Jules Feiffer, Tennessee Williams (whose sketch was cut before opening night) and Tynan himself. Peter Schickele (aka "PDQ Bach"), Robert Dennis and Stanley Walden were the revue's composers,known as "The Open Window". (Wikipedia) .....
