It was about a 35-year-old Manhattan guy, still unmarried even though all of his best friends are married couples. The set, the tone and the score were all ultra-chic, ultra-modern, ultra-urban. So urban and modern, in fact, that the first thing you hear as the show begins is a busy signal %E2%80%94 in its day, the ultimate technological symbol of a fast-paced, full-up lifestyle. After a few repetitions of that insistent, one-note beep, the overture begins building off of its rhythm. The busy signal became a musical theme for the entire opening number. But when I went to see the revival of the show in 2006, the busy signal was gone. Mr. Sondheim later told me that nobody knows what it is anymore.
