Sammy Fain, Dan Shapiro, and Guy Bolton’s 'Ankles Aweigh' completed a celebrated original Broadway premiere run at the Mark Hellinger Theatre in 1955, running for an accomplished 340 performances under the banner of producers low-budget circuit. The fast-paced, melody-infused musical comedy farce tracks an independent Hollywood starlet who smuggles herself aboard an American naval ship disguised as a sailor to honeymoon with her pilot husband, collapsing the fleet into farcical chaos. Directed by Fred F. Finklehoffe, it starred Betty and Jane Kean.
