Glad to See You (1944 Jule Styne tryout) - repro
Choose options
Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn’s legendary 1944 musical comedy 'Glad to See You' infamously collapsed, encountered critical hostility, and closed during its out-of-town pre-Broadway tryout engagement at Boston's Shubert Theatre, never reaching its planned New York debut. Featuring a brassy, high-energy score by Styne and Cahn with a book by Fred Finklehoffe, the fast-paced farcical plot centers on a rowdy troupe of USO performers who find themselves caught in an escalating chain of military deceptions and strategic romantic mix-ups while traveling to the Pacific theater. Directed by Busby Berkeley, this project remains a premier Holy Grail artifact.
