Gigi (1951, Audrey Hepburn) - repro

Anita Loos’s sleek 1951 Broadway romantic comedy 'Gigi' completed a historic premiere run at the Fulton Theatre, running for an astonishing 252 performances and permanently altering the trajectory of modern entertainment history. Adapted by Loos directly from Colette’s classic French novella, the witty continental plot unfolds in turn-of-the-century Paris, tracking a young, free-spirited girl groomed by her aristocratic aunts to become a high-society courtesan, upending expectations when she courts a wealthy playboy. Directed by Raymond Rouleau, the original production achieved permanent immortality by launching a young Audrey Hepburn in her historic Broadway debut.
