Notes
Frank Loesser worked on what would have been his final musical from 1966-1968. Suffering from terminal illness, he ultimately wrote to Budd Schulberg, claiming to have abandoned work on Señor Discretion Himself.
In the 1980s, a developmental workshop was done of the show, for which new arrangements of the music were devised. The libretto was completed by Schulberg, but after the unsuccessful 1985 workshop, the show disappeared back into obscurity.
In 2003, a reading and subsequent workshop were put together in preparation for the 2004 production at Arena Stage. In 2005, another reading and a demo recording were created.
