The original 1971 world premiere pre-Broadway out-of-town tryout engagement of Jule Styne and Alan Jay Lerner’s controversial musical tragedy 'Prettybelle' launched its highly publicized run at Boston’s historic Shubert Theatre, collapsing under severe critical hostility and closing on the road. Based on Jean Arnold's novel, the emotionally massive narrative tracks a widow's complex diaries tracking structural racism and alcohol trauma in a Deep South asylum town. This historical printing records the original monochrome windowcard layout used during the Boston run, starring stage royalty Angela Lansbury.
