It's an adaptation with something for EVERYONE... well, by 1966 standards. This early Sondheim musical has everything - jump cuts! Cut jumps! Cross dressing! Kind of weird objectification! Boring love story! Are the Tiemstra Bros. pleased by this diversion? Or would we rather just stay home and order a sit down orgy for 14? Only listening can tell you the answer...
