Mitch Leigh, Charles Burr, and Forman Brown’s 'Home Sweet Homer' completed its celebrated original Broadway premiere run at the Palace Theatre in early 1976, remaining a legendary, highly publicized Holy Grail footnote for serious lyric stage scholars by opening and closing on its very first official opening night performance. Masterfully translating Homer's classic epic literature *The Odyssey* onto the stage into a high-stepping musical comedy farce pastiche, the narrative featured an elite company, starring Yul Brynner.
