Oh! Calcutta! Redirected from Oh Calcutta
Oh! Calcutta! was a long-running theatrical revue[?], debuting off-Broadway in 1969, created by British critic Kenneth Tynan[?]. Most of the sketches (written by Samuel Beckett, John Lennon and Jules Feiffer[?], among others) featured the cast naked (including Bill Macy). Peter Schikele[?] (aka PDQ Bach) was one of the revue's three composers. A pay-per-view video production played on closed-circuit TV in select cities in 1971, and a motion picture version was also released -- in both cases many cities and municipalities banned its showing. A 1976 Broadway revival lasted 13 years, briefly becoming the longest-running play in Broadway history.
The title is a pun on "O quel cul t'as", French for "What a bottom you have".
