Where's Charley?[]

(1948).
Music and lyrics: Frank Loesser, Book: George Abbott.

Synopsis[]

Based on Brandon Thomas’ 1892 farce, Charley’s Aunt. Charley and Jack are two undergraduates at Oxford University, and they need a chaperone in order to entertain two young ladies. Initially Charley’s aunt would serve as that role, but her visit is delayed, and so they persuade their friend, Lord Fancourt Babberly, to disguise himself as Charley’s aunt, and act as their chaperone instead. But this phoney aunt is also interested in the two girls.
