or

A Night in the Ukraine formed the second act of a very successful 1979 West End Show which transferred to Broadway in 1980. The first act, A Day in Hollywood, was a musical revue set in the lobby of Grauman's Chinese Theatre to a mixture of Broadway tunes. However eleven of that year's Tony nominations and two Tony Awards went to A Night in the Ukraine, a pastiche of Chekhov's one-act play 'The Bear', which features thinly disguised Marx Brothers invading a bastion of the privileged classes.

== Comment by David Williams ==
This is the very first time I have ever been to the recording of a live show. I was very kindly invited by the production company.

The first thing I have to say, is that I had never heard of the The New Players Theatre London and had to use Google to find it!

I have to say I did enjoy the show, it was well worth the effort of getting there. It was nice to see familiar voices in the flesh so to speak,it was jut sad that we could not stay after the show to talk to Dirk and the cast as Donna (the wife who is a staff nurse) had an early start, we traveled to London on public transport. Hopefully one day I will get the chance to talk to some of the cast.

It will be interesting to hear the recorded version as compared to my memory of the live version.
