All three shows were set in London and told similar stories of upper-crust-lower-crust romances. Their broader similarities suggest the growing importance of settings in the writing of musical comedy. The outstanding musicals since Oklahoma have, almost to a one, been distinguished by unusual or untried locales: Finian's Rainbow in a mythical Southland; Guys and Dolls in and around the classier sewers of New York city; Pajama Game...
