Come Blow Your Horn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Come Blow Your Horn was Neil Simon's first play, premiered in the US in 1961. The play follows Alan and Buddy Baker, brothers who have decided to leave home and experience the good life. In the beginning of the play, Alan is the typical lady's man, and his younger brother is the twenty one year old virgin who has decided to run away from home, and leave the family's waxed fruit business. As the play progresses, Alan finds out that Connie, one of the ladies that he is sleeping with, is "the girl" and without her in his life, he falls apart. Buddy, however has taken his brother's place in life, becomming the ladies man, while his brother sits around and mopes over the loss of Connie, the girl of his dreams. The play was made into a movie, with a screenplay by Norman Lear, starring Frank Sinatra, Lee J Cobb, and Barbara Rush. The play had a London production in 1962 at the Prince of Wales Theatre.
An offstage character in the play is Felix Ungar, later one of the protagonists of Simon's The Odd Couple.
