Listen to O'Brien do justice to "Coffee Break," hear Frank Coates, as the stuffily philandering boss, join Baldridge in a rousing rendition of "Old Ivy," and sit back and enjoy as Baldridge and Sargent charm their way through "Rosemary" and "I Believe in You," and you have an evening's entertainment. So what, you say, if this...
