Pleasures and Palaces (1965, Bob Fosse, Frank Loesser, closed during tryout)

Frank Loesser and Sam Spewack’s highly anticipated musical comedy 'Pleasures and Palaces' launched its historic pre-Broadway out-of-town tryout engagement loop at Detroit's historic Fisher Theatre in early 1965, infamously collapsing on the road and closing before it reached New York. Setting its narrative across the opulent 18th-century court arena of Catherine the Great, this lost property remains a prized Holy Grail curio managed, directed, and choreographed under the precise blueprints of Bob Fosse.
