Featuring a book by comic legend Mel Brooks and Joe Darion (Man of La Mancha), and a jazz score that remains one of the only examples of this genre in the commercial theatre, Archy & Mehitabel is one of the most daring musicals in Broadway history.

In a deserted office, a cockroach dives headfirst onto the keys of a typewriter, pouring out the ruminations of his soul. It's archy (he's too small to hold down the shift key), poet, philosopher, moralist and futile worshipper of "mehitabel," the alley cat. This bizarre, highly original musical takes us into the streets of the big city as archy tries hopelessly to bring the "toujours gai" mehitabel off the back fence and into a respectable home as a housecat.
