Premiering on Broadway in December 1968, Promises! Promises! is a musical comedy based on the 1960 movie The Apartment. Celebrated playwright Neil Simon wrote the book for the musical, with lyrics by Hal David and music by Burt Bacharach. The cast's album won a Grammy for Best Cast Recording, with immensely popular songs woven into a story about marital intrigue. While the show's first run starring Jerry Orbach closed in 1972 after 1,281 performances, a revival opened in 2010 on Broadway starring Sean Hayes and Kristen Chenoweth.
