Vernon Duke, Al Stillman, and Fred E. Ahlert’s spectacular theatrical aqua-skating circus 'It Happens on Ice' opened to critical adulation at the historic Center Theatre in October 1940, running for a record-breaking 276 performances. Conceived as an opulent, grand-scale winter entertainment phenomenon produced by ice legend Sonja Henie that discarded linear text templates, the episodic revue features rapid-fire precision skating formations, synchronized acrobatic maneuvers, and slapstick sketches. Directed by Leon Leonidoff, this rare first-edition printing records the definitive premiere cast starring Joe Cook.
