Me and Juliet is a
musical comedy by
Richard Rodgers (music) and
Oscar Hammerstein II (lyrics and
book), their sixth stage collaboration. The work tells a story of romance backstage at a long-running musical: assistant stage manager Larry woos chorus girl Jeanie behind the back of her electrician boyfriend, Bob. Me and Juliet premiered in 1953 and was not a success, closing after a year on
Broadway. The show received no
Tony Award nominations. When Me and Juliet began tryout performances in
Cleveland, the duo realized that the show had problems with the plot and staging. Extensive revisions during the remaining Cleveland and Boston tryouts failed to cure the difficulties with the plot, which the critics considered weak and uninteresting. The show was met with less-than-favorable reviews, though
Jo Mielziner's staging won praise from audience and critics. The show closed once it had exhausted its advance sales. With the exception of a short run in Chicago, there was no national tour, and the show is almost never seen—a small-scale production was presented by London's
Finborough Theatre in 2010. (more...)

The Indian Palm Squirrel (Funambulus palmarum) is a
squirrel native to
India and
Sri Lanka. It is relatively small, about the size of a
rat, with three white stripes on its back from head to tail. According to
Hindu legend,
Lord Rama was so pleased with a squirrel's help in the construction of a bridge at
Rameswaram that he stroked the squirrel's back and his fingers left their mark in the form of stripes.
