Jones and Robb called that show “Joy Comes to Deadhorse,” and in 1956, they staged it at the University of New Mexico, where Robb was a dean. The two had a falling out over what worked and what didn’t in the production, and Jones turned to collaborating with friend Harvey Schmidt.

The cast included Jerry Orbach as El Gallo, the narrator, who sings the opening “Try to Remember.” Jones and Schmidt went on to collaborate on other shows. Jones wrote the lyrics for Schmidt’s musical, “110 in the Shade,” which opened on Broadway in 1963 and ran for 330 performances. He also wrote the book and lyrics for “I Do! I Do!,” another collaboration, which ran for a year and a half on Broadway in the mid-1960s.
