Based on the classic 1897 play by Arthur Schnitzler, La Ronde, this ingenious musical consisted of ten vignettes narrating various sexual encounters, each one linked by a character from the previous scene in a daisy chain that eventually brought together the first and last participants. A study of American mores in the 20th century, each vignette took place in a different decade, though the play crossed the boundaries of time and space to keep a constant connection between the various characters.
