Here's a commercial for the short-lived musical Grind, which played for about two months at Broadway's Mark Hellinger Theatre, beginning in April of 1985. It was one of a string of less-than-successful musicals for producer/director Hal Prince in the 1980's (broken the following year with The Phantom of the Opera). The stars of the show, as seen in the ad, were Ben Vereen, Stubby Kaye, Timothy Nolen, and the memorable Leilani Jones, who won a Tony for her role. I have not seen this version elsewhere.
