The legendary, short-lived 1947 musical comedy 'Bonanza Bound!' infamously collapsed and closed during its out-of-town tryout at Philadelphia's Forrest Theatre, never reaching its scheduled Broadway premiere. Featuring a melodic score by Saul Chaplin and a satirical book and lyrics by the legendary duo Betty Comden and Adolph Green, the plot is a broad farce set during the historic 1898 Klondike Gold Rush, tracking an eccentric collection of prospectors in Alaska. Directed by Charles Friedman, this ill-fated production is a major collector's prize, famously showcasing the iconic poster caricature illustrations of legendary graphic master Al Hirschfeld.
