Baby looks at three couples and their voyage to parenthood.
Neil Simon's hilarious look at a spanking new lawyer and his bride of six weeks as they move into the new, high rent apartment that she has chosen for them. The skylight leaks snow, there isn't room for a double bed, and the outlandish gourmet who lives in a loft on the roof uses it and the window ledge as teh only access to his premises. A bubbling, rib-tickling comedy. The Broadway production was directed by Mike Nichols and starred Eli Wallach, Anne Jackson, and Alan Arkin. Presently Milt's wife enters the scene and Milt has an inspiration.
