Choose options
Harold Rome and Leonard Gershe’s 'Destry Rides Again' stands as a magnificent, multi-Tony-nominated monument of golden-era western musical book writing, celebrated for translating a classic cinematic property into a high-energy stage landscape. Setting its breathless plot across the saloons of a corrupt frontier outpost, the musical features showstopping choreographic sequences by Michael Kidd that defined its run at the Imperial Theatre. Starring Andy Griffith in a career-defining turn as the soft-spoken deputy sheriff alongside Dolores Gray’s Frenchy, this baseline property remains an essential find for serious lyric theater historians, curated by Triton Gallery.
