...Scott Alexander, who play crap-master Nathan Detroit's seedy sidekicks Nicely-Nicely and Benny, and Dave Eastman, who portrays high stakes Chicago gambler Big Julie, all turn in memorable performances. Sagawa and Alexander, clowas throughout the show, pull out all the stops in the title song as they bemoan the fate of their boss and any other guy who falls for a doll.
