But it wasn't Raymond's fault; instead, Frank Sinatra's Marco would uncover the mystery of Raymond's hypnotism and his plotting mother played by Angela Lansbury.

Another song cut at the last minute was “Tear It Up and Throw It Away”, which was to take place between the opening number and “If You Were Gay”. The original line-up included Stephanie D'Abruzzo and Rich Lyon, both of whom got their start on Sesame Street. FTP name this Broadway musical, winner of the 2004 Tony for Best Musical.

Answer: Turok
