Promises, Promises- Okoboji Summer Theatre

Promises, Promises |  July 11-16

A scathing and hilarious satire of the corporate world, Promises, Promises is the exuberant musical adaptation of Billy Wilder’s Oscar-winning film, The Apartment.  In New York City in the 1960s, an ambitious accountant named Chuck Baxter lends out his apartment to his supervisors, who need a discreet place for illicit afternoon rendezvous. Miserable and exploited, Chuck finds a beacon of hope in coworker Fran, who is trapped in a romantic predicament of her own. The romantic comedy features a Burt Bacharach score featuring the blockbuster hit “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again,” plus “Knowing When To Leave,” “Whoever You Are,” and the title song.
