The good-natured New Orleans jazz revue ”One Mo’ Time” was an Off Broadway hit when it opened in 1979 at the Village Gate. It ran for three and a half years and begat numerous touring companies, becoming a more or less reiterative theme on the theatrical landscape. A full-fledged revival production, which first appeared at the Williamstown Theater Festival, opened on Broadway last night at the Longacre Theater. That will certainly make it the oldest show eligible for this year’s Tony Award for best new musical. But otherwise there seems little reason for it to be here.
