Continuing on my past posts on Oh! Calcutta!, Playboy, the Musical, and my The Ultimate Entertainment Niche and The Ultimate Entertainment Niche Part II, here's another classic that I almost forgot: Let My People Come.

This musical was (of course) produced in 1976, and it was classified as a 'sexual musical' and it featured two or three songs that were specifically gay or lesbian lyrically, which was reasonably innovative at the time.

It ran from June 14, 1976 to October 2, 1976 (ah, the Bicentennial...those were fun days...) for 128 performances, totally in preview. It never officially opened, but they did manage to cancel three announced opening dates.

The graphics are awesome. I especially love this ad for the LP. Unfortunately, the Original Cast Album no longer seems to be available, but check out some of the song titles. What were our parents thinking, and why did they seem to be having so much fun?
