''I tend to think that unless Harris is a major fan of musicals, she's never heard of that show.''

I don't even think that tons of major fans of musicals are familiar with a 1976 flop that only ran 61 performances.

''Something's afoot'' is a common phrase. And probably popularized, in part, by Sherlock Holmes, who once said, ''The game is afoot.''

The first use of 'the game is afoot' is found in Shakespeare's King Henry IV Part I, 1597, spoken from Northumberland to Hotspur; it also appears in Henry V, delivered by the title character. 'Mischief, thou art afoot' is from Anthony in Julius Caesar.
