Bajour (manuscript)
Bajour (manuscript)
Music and lyrics by Walter Marks. Book by Ernest Kinoy. Based on New Yorker stories by Joseph Mitchell.

Cast: 10m., 7w. (lots of extra gypsies.) Colorful costumes, swirling easy dances, and a wild and humorous "big swindle" which, in gypsy language, is "bajour," are the ingredients of this lighthearted musical. "The gypsies steal the show," a critic wrote, adding, "as well as everything else they can lay their hands on." The New York Times critic commented, "These stage gypsies are so guilelessly guileful that you don't feel you're neglecting your duty as a good citizen if you sit by and let them get away with their big bajour." The plot concerns a pretty young anthropologist who is studying tribal customs—those of the Demeschti tribe of nomadic gypsies—for her Ph.D. thesis. Soon, however, she's involved up to here! There's an irrestible exuberance to this spirited musical that's as brightly colored as a gypsy dress!
