Glad to See You (1944 Jule Styne tryout)
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.
