The Mad Show

[1] The original cast included Linda Lavin, Jo Anne Worley, Paul Sand, Richard Libertini, and MacIntyre Dixon.

Additional sketches, including "Saboteurs," "Babysitter," "Hollywood Surplus," "Zoom," and "Snappy Answers," and the song "Hey, Sweet Momma" appeared during earlier versions of the production.

Kaufmann described cast member Libertini as "a bewigged insane beanpole," and Lavin as "an elfin hipster, pretty, delicately caustic, with fine timing and a face that is a kaleidoscope of the kooky.

They attack TV coverage of pro-football with instant-split-second-ago playbacks while, for Pete's sake, you're missing the touchdown... the show's theme song is "Eccch!"

"[6] The original cast recording LP was released in 1966 by Columbia Masterworks (OL 2930 - mono / OS 2930 - stereo)[7] and re-released on CD, February 22, 2005, by DRG Theater.
