The celebrated 1949 touring production of Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg’s feminist Civil War musical 'Bloomer Girl' completed a high-profile engagement at Brooklyn's historic Flatbush Theatre under the banner of the legendary "Subway Circuit." The narrative unfolds in 1959 Ohio, tracking Evelina Applegate, a rebellious young woman who refuses to conform to her family's hoop-skirt manufacturing empire, opting instead to champion the radical dress-reform bloomers and the Underground Railroad. This production achieved immense cultural profile by starring musical theater icon Vivian Blaine in a critically lauded lead performance.
