About Promises, Promises
Promises, Promises is a musical based on the 1960 film The Apartment written by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond. The music is by Burt Bacharach, lyrics by Hal David, and book by Neil Simon. Musical numbers for the original Broadway production were choreographed by Michael Bennett; Robert Moore directed and David Merrick produced. The story concerns marital intrigue.
The show was originally produced on Broadway in 1968, running for 1,281 performances. The cast album won the Grammy Award for best cast recording, and two songs from the show, "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" and "Promises, Promises", became hit singles for Dionne Warwick.
A Broadway revival opened at the Broadway Theatre on April 25, 2010, after previews starting on March 27. The director and
choreographer is Rob Ashford; the musical stars Sean Hayes(Jack on Will and Grace) as Chuck and Kristin Chenoweth as Fran, and features Brooks Ashmanskas as Mr. Dobitch, Katie Finneran as Marge MacDougall and Tony Goldwyn as J.D. Sheldrake.

Katie Finnernan on Acting
She encourages young people not to listen to the opinions of everyone around them and trust their own intuitions in acting-related decisions. "If I teach you anything at all, I'll teach you to just shut your eyes and listen to yourself, Everybody knows what the right answer is for them."
As an aspiring performer, Finneran has had many "day jobs" to augment her income, including a ringside girl at a boxing ring, waitress, and perfume spray girl at Bloomingdale's. cappuccino bars, she has washed gym floors and was fired from Tavern on the Green restaurant. Nothing broke her spirit.
"I really and truly would have done anything just to stay in the game,
