Summary
Program devoted to the 1970 Broadway musical Two by two, which starred comedian Danny Kaye, with songs by Richard Rodgers and Martin Charnin. Original cast members Walter Willison, Michael Karm, and Joan Copeland discuss the show and perform several songs from it. They also reminisce about their difficulties in working with Kaye. At one point Willison places a long-distance call to the show's lyricist Martin Charnin, whose voice is heard in an amplified audio feed as he contributes comments about the production, the songs, and Kaye.
