John Latouche wrote some clever lyrics for many a fine musical, but perhaps not quite clever enough for a full evening, Taking a Chance on Love.

The Big Bang is a two-clown musical revue tracing mankind's path from Eden to Woodstock. Sophomorically performed by the co-authors, Boyd Graham and Jed Feuer, the material is mostly hollow, unsurprising, and often tasteless, with only Edward T. Gianfrancesco's sly scenery holding one's interest. . . . At the Café Carlyle, the major singer-actress Betty Buckley offers a fine and various program of memorable songs, rendered with the ultimate in vocal and histrionic finesse.
