Pal Joey is the penultimate collaboration of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. It was the first musical to focus on an unlikely hero as the lead and features such classic songs such as "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered".
Smooth-talking and cocky, Joey Evans maneuvers his way into owning his own nightclub. He does so by manipulating and juggling the affections of several women, one of whom is Vera Simpson, a wealthy, married socialite. Smitten, Vera begins to bankroll Joey's new club, Chez Joey, until a crooked agent threatens to tell Vera's husband about her affair. Joey gets a taste of his own medicine when Vera dumps him and cuts the funding for his club. He lands on his feet, without learning anything from his failure, and continues his scheming ways.
