comment
Omaha! is a recorded musical comedy with book, lyrics and music by Stan Freberg. Originally a six-minute, 38-second radio commercial for the Butter-Nut Coffee Company of Omaha, the original cast recording was issued on an EP in 1958.The plot is simple: Biff (Freberg) loves Julie (Frances Osborne), and Julie loves Omaha, but their tender duets of love (for each other and for the town) are interrupted by Eustace K. Butter-Nut (Byron Kane), the only man ever to leave Omaha.The musical numbers include an overture, four songs and a last-act finale, which is impressive for a show only ten minutes long.Tracklist (9:33 minutes)Side One "Overture" "Whatta They Got In Omaha?" "Omaha Moon" "Omaha"Side Two "I Look In Your Face" "Reprise"

Reprise Medley: The finale is made up of several earlier songs with different lyrics—in particular, singing "Butter-Nut" instead of "Omaha."

Adaptation Expansion: The EP version eliminates the Butter-Nut Coffee plugs from the commercial version, but also adds a few minutes of new material, including an additional song ("I Look in Your Face").

Sdrawkcab Name: Saying Butter-Nut's name backwards breaks the curse on Omaha (which spelled backwards is "Ahamo!"). There's also a mention of Ak-Sar-Ben, the Real Life civic group in Omaha whose name is Nebraska spelled backwards.

No Indoor Voice: Biff and the other locals, parodying the tendency of performers on original cast albums to not tone down their theatrical projecting in the recording studio.
