Peter’s Brainteaser:
A musical nominated for six Tony Awards but won none starred a performer who had earlier appeared in the film that had inspired the musical.
The name of the first song that this star sang in the show became, word for word, the name of a restaurant on West 57th Street. It stayed in business more than 50 times longer than the musical did.
What’s the musical? What was the film? Who was the star of both? What was the name of the song and the restaurant?
