SEESAW was a show of firsts (launching Tommy Tune’s career)
and lasts
(the final lyrics of the great Dorothy Fields). Featuring pulsating Cy Coleman melodies (“It’s Not Where You Start, It’s
Where You
Finish”) and with 1970’s New York as the background, SEESAW tells the
tale of a slightly square, not-quite single lawyer from the Midwest
and an off-kilter would-be-dancer from the Bronx. “SEESAW is a love
of a musical”, Walter Kerr, New York Times.
