Copper and Brass (vintage)

David Baker, David Craig, and Ellen Violett’s 'Copper and Brass' completed its celebrated original Broadway premiere run at the Martin Beck Theatre in 1957, remaining a prized monument for serious lyric stage scholars tracking short-lived golden-era titles. The fast-paced contemporary musical comedy farce follows Katey O'Shea, a whimsical, hyper-kinetic young woman who collapses the administrative metrics of the New York police force into farcical chaos when she inadvertently becomes a plainclothes street cop, starring comedic dynamo Nancy Walker.
