Edward Chodorov’s zany wartime farcical comedy 'Love on Leave' completed a celebrated original Broadway premiere run at the historic Hudson Theatre in 1944, running for an accomplished commercial residency under the banner of the theater company. The breathless farcical plot unfolds inside a chaotic Manhattan hotel suite during a sweltering military leave window, tracking three young, naive U.S. Navy sailors who orchestrate a frantic series of administrative deceptions and romantic mix-ups to court beautiful showgirls, collapsing into frantic panic when their strict commanding general check in. Directed by Chodorov himself, the production featured an elite ensemble cast.
