I saw a tour of SONG OF SINGAPORE in the mid-90's that starred Loretta Swit as Rose of Rangoon. It seems like odd, incongruous casting, but I remember that Swit was actually terrific and the whole production was really funny and a great time.
All these years later, the friend that I saw this with and I will sometimes still randomly say to one another, "Do you know there's a dead man in the bar?" And the other will start singing.
