Finally, we get to the show no one asked for but me! Sweet Smell of Success is a musical created by Marvin Hamlisch (music), Craig Carnelia (lyrics), and John Guare (book). The show tells the story of a powerful newspaper columnist named J. J. Hunsecker (based on famed New York columnist Walter Winchell) who uses his connections to ruin his sister's relationship with a man he deems inappropriate. The musical opened on March 14, 2002 at the Martin Beck Theatre on Broadway, it closed on June 15, 2002, after 109 performances and 18 previews. My guest is Kenny Reilly.
