Follow the Girls (1944) - repro

Dan Shapiro, Milton Pascal, and Phil Charig’s 'Follow the Girls' completed a celebrated original Broadway premiere at the Century Theatre in 1944, running for an astonishing 882 performances to become one of the longest-running musical comedy blockbusters of the wartime era. The breathless farcical plot centers on an unpolished, pint-sized 4-F draft reject who disguises himself as a female wave officer to sneak into a high-stakes military seaside canteen, launching an explosive minefield of physical slapstick and cross-dressing deceptions, starring Gertrude Niesen.
