Which Broadway musical featured material written by Sam Shepard and John Lennon?
Oh! Calcutta!
When Oh! Calcutta! opened on Broadway on June 17, 1969, no one could have imagined it would become Broadway's seventh longest-running show. The groundbreaking musical featured various sex-related sketches, which were performed by the cast in the nude. It was the first Broadway show to display full frontal nudity, which sparked considerable controversy at the time. Oh! Calcutta! was the brainchild of theatre critic Kenneth Tynan, who solicited anyone to submit a titillating sketch. The musical included sketches by John Lennon, Samuel Beckett, Jules Feiffer and Sam Shepard among others.
