Jule Styne, Betty Comden, and Adolph Green’s 'Lorelei' brought a brassy, grand-scale musical comedy biography spectacular to the Palace Theatre in 1974, running for an astonishing 320 performances following a record-shattering national touring company run. Conceived as a heavily revised, newly glitzy musical overhaul of the classic hit *Gentlemen Prefer Blondes*, the fast-paced jazz-age plot tracks Lorelei Lee, a diamond-obsessed showgirl who embarks on a transatlantic voyage to Paris, navigating farcical complications with wealthy heirs. Directed by Robert Moore with choreography by Ernie Flatt, the production famously starred Carol Channing.
