Originally produced on Broadway in 1972 and revived in 1998, The Sunshine Boys focuses on aging Al Lewis and Willy Clark, a one-time vaudevillian team known as “Lewis and Clark.” Over the course of 43 years together they grew to hate each other and never spoke off-stage throughout the final year of their act. Clark, who was not ready for retirement, resented Lewis for breaking up the act when he opted to leave show business. It is now eleven years later and CBS is inviting the team to reunite for a special on the history of comedy, with the pair representing the vaudeville era. Clark is convinced by his nephew, Ben, to revive one of the old routines one last time. Getting the two cantankerous actors into the same room for a rehearsal and their differences of opinion once they reunite is enough to give Ben a nervous breakdown. Their shenanigans on the actual broadcast are classic Neil Simon comedy at its best.
