Background: Could Sweet Bye and Bye be the greatest theatre score no one’s ever heard? It certainly boasts an amazing pedigree: music by Vernon Duke, lyrics by Ogden Nash, a book by S. J. Perelman and Al Hirschfeld. It crashed and burned during its pre-Broadway tryout in 1946 for various reasons, some conceptual, some creative, some casting-related, but at the end of the day what’s left is a glorious collection of songs: restlessly inventive, playful and romantic, perhaps Vernon Duke’s finest theatrical achievement.

A futuristic farce sending up big business, telecommunications, robotics, space travel, self-help groups and even the traditions of courtship and matrimony, at heart Sweet Bye and Bye is a simple love story with some of the most beautiful ballads Broadway had ever heard. The world premiere recording of this Broadway-musicalthat- never-was has been lovingly restored from Duke and Nash’s original manuscripts by producer Tommy Krasker and orchestrator Jason Carr.
