  The World's Longest Running Erotic Stage Musical! Written by luminaries including John Lennon Sam Shepard and Samuel Beckett this adult musical matched the magic of Broadway with the exhilaration of a peep show over a rock score performed by a live band. Debuting in 1969 and running for a record 17 years the notoriously erotic stage musical Oh! Calcutta! playfully challenged taboos by representing the sexual revolution in a series of uproarious skits dance and naughty musical numbers performed (mostly) in the nude. From an elaborately-concocted scene in which a crafty virgin gets the upper hand on her seducer to a hilarious rendition of awkward first-time swingers Oh! Calcutta! gleefully runs roughshod over prudish no-no's while never taking sex too seriously. Directed by British theatre critic Kenneth Tynan Oh! Calcutta! is equal parts hubris and hilarity acting out on stage what usually never leaves the bedroom to side-splitting and blush-worthy effect.
