Jule Styne, Sammy Cahn, and Stephen Longstreet’s 'High Button Shoes' arrived at the Century Theatre in 1947, running for an astonishing 727 performances to permanently establish a high-water mark for golden-era musical comedy showmanship. The fast-paced farcical plot follows Harrison Floy, an unprincipled, flamboyant con man who orchestrates an intricate campaign of real-estate scams and deceptions in New Jersey in 1913. Directed by George Abbott with the legendary, rapid-fire "Mack Sennett Bathing Beauty" slapstick ballet choreographed by Jerome Robbins.
