Harold Rome and Leonard Gershe’s classic 1959 western musical comedy hit 'Destry Rides Again' opened at the Imperial Theatre, running for a triumphant 472 performances and capturing four major Tony nominations. Based on the celebrated film, the fast-paced plot unfolds inside the lawless frontier town of Bottleneck, tracking Tom Destry, a mild-mannered, gun-shunning young deputy sheriff who attempts to clean up the town's gambling corruption through sheer diplomacy and intellect, collapsing into a romantic crisis with the sultry saloon singer Frenchy. Directed and choreographed with breathtaking athletic precision by Michael Kidd, this horizontal layout features Andy Griffith and Dolores Gray.
