Promises, Promises

Promises, Promises

The Footlight Club at Eliot Hall
7A Eliot Street Jamaica Plain

Take one of Jack Lemmon's most loved films, add a dash of Mad Men-style corporate intrigue and shake vigorously with music by Burt Bacharach. What do you get? Neil Simon's charming musical comedy Promises, Promises. Based on the '60s hit movie The Apartment, it's the story of Chuck Baxter, a junior employee at the Consolidated Life Insurance Company who has big dreams, and an unorthodox idea for making them come true: By lending his superiors the keys to his apartment for discrete trysts with their lovers. Packed with stylish dancing and memorable sing-along songs such as "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," not to mention Simon's razor-sharp dialogue, Promises, Promises is a must-see at Eliot Hall in Jamaica Plain.
