PROMISES, PROMISES is a Neil Simon musical to remember other musicals by: slick, amiable and derivative. With a plot line borrowed from the Wilder-Diamond film The Apartment and a structure copied from How to Succeed in Business With out Really Trying, the show is not so much viewed as deja vu'd. While Jerry Orbach will probably light up Broadway from this show onwards, his performance is not equal to his acting in Scuba Duba...

...Sheahy, the Eagles' first line center, should be Harvard's biggest problem tonight. The 6', 195 pounder, the team's high scorer with four goals and two assists, plays on a line with Paul Schilling, second scorer, and Kevin Ahern. John Sullivan centers a second line of captain Mike Flynn and Charley Toczylowski...
