I was involved in the early 1990's production in Los Angeles, ( I illustrated the poster...), where the role of FRANK FINGER was played by David Hyde Pierce, ( this was just before "Frasier").
In my notes from the producer, I was told that FINGER was based on PETER SELLARS, who, at that time was called a "boy wonder director". Mr. Sellars was known for being very over-the-top and experimental in his theatrical and personal style. I don't think he was British, but a home grown type.
I also remember that during the out-of-town tryout of "My One & Only" in Boston, Sellars was fired and replaced by Mike Nichols.
The BOY WONDER is pushing SIXTY, and does anyone know or care where he is today, or what he's doing?
