WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Nominated for 4 Tony Awards including Best Choreography for Rob Ashford.
Based on the 1960 Academy Award-winning Billy Wilder film The Apartment that starred Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine, Promises, Promises tells the story of the Consolidated Life Insurance Company and Chuck Baxter, one of its charming young employees. In an effort to advance at the company, Chuck lends executives his apartment for their extramarital romantic trysts. But things become slightly complicated when Fran Kubelik, the object of Chuck's affection, becomes the mistress of one of his executives. With Simon's funny and touching book and Bacharach and David's hit-packed score ("I'll Never Fall In Love Again," "Promises, Promises," and "Knowing When to Leave"), Promises, Promises is a unique and popular part of the musical theatre canon that will now return to the stage for the first time in over forty years, for a new generation of theatergoers.

What are other members saying?
Dull. Outdated.
A poor excuse for a revival.

Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth are amazing in this show! I would give anything to see it again. I would suggest 2nd row seats to anyone, you can really see whats going on vs. the 10th row.

There's little question that the first Broadway revival of
Promises, Promises at the Broadway Theater -- the 1968 Burt Bacharach-Hal David-Neil Simon musical adaptation of the poignantly funny 1960 film The Apartment -- has been built on the drawing power of its stars, Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth. And there's also little question that viewed as a two-star vehicle, Promises, Promises is absolutely enjoyable.
Yet while this revival -- directed and choreographed by Rob Ashford and featuring stylized 1960s sets by Scott Pask and 1960s-ish costumes by Bruce Pask -- has been slickly produced, it's not so slick that the material doesn't show signs of age.
Too many of the jokes misfire --[...]
