That s what makes it theatrical. Otherwise, go watch a television special. It s a show-biz couple like Steve Lawrence and Edie Gorme, Sonny and Cher, Robert Goulet and Carol Lawrence, Lucy and Desi. They ve been divorced for about five years and Swell Shampoo is bringing them back together for one time only, to do this television show. They re reuniting Lucy and Desi, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, all these couples and Pete and Keely are on the bill.
Tonight is their reunion.
They go back to tell you about their illustrious career of being Las Vegas and television stars. It works sort of like a therapy session in that you go back to the scene of the crime and retell your life with your partner. Anyone who s divorced or who has been with someone for a time, will look at them and say, Maybe it wasn t so bad. It all starts coming back and that s what happens with Pete and Keely. As the show goes on, it gets harder and harder for them to hold down their emotions and that s when it starts falling apart.
