"With a jazzy, driving score by the late Marvin Hamlisch," Sweet Smell of Success, press notes state "is based on the 1957 movie starring Burt Lancaster as a ruthless, all-powerful newspaper columnist named J. J. Hunsecker (so Walter Winchell couldn’t sue them), and Tony Curtis as Sidney Falcone - a smarmy, small-time press agent desperate to curry J.J.’s favor. He succeeds, for a while, but that sweet smell comes at a much higher price than he expects."
Stage manager is Art Brickman, and the production coordinator is Jeffrey Scott Parsons.
