Brown, Richard Lewine and Ralph Nelson------- Frank Loesser's Last Musical Pleasures and Palaces, Unseen Since 1965, Will Play Texas By Adam Hetrick 01 Jan 2013 Frank Loesser's final stage musical Pleasures and Palaces, the 1965 work that closed out-of-town prior to an anticipated Broadway debut. Originally staged by Bob Fosse (Chicago, Pippin), Loesser's musical about Russian intrigue and romance, was co-authored with Sam Spewack (based on his play Once There Was a Russian). It received chilly reviews when it premiered at the Fisher Theatre in Detroit in 1965. A subsequent Boston engagement and Broadway run were scuttled. It has not been staged since the ill-fated Detroit premiere. Tony winner Loesser's works also include Guys and Dolls, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, The Most Happy Fella, Greenwillow and Where's Charley?
