Redhead (Repro)

Albert Hague, Dorothy Fields, Herbert Fields, Sidney Sheldon, and David Shaw’s 'Redhead' exploded onto the stage of the 46th Street Theatre in 1959, running for an astonishing 452 performances and sweeping six major Tony Awards including Best Musical. Set inside a spooky Victorian wax museum in London in the 1880s, the fast-paced musical comedy whodunit tracks Essie Whimple, an plain woman who orchestrates an intricate campaign of deceptions and strategic double-crosses to catch a serial killer while chasing a handsome strongman. Directed and choreographed with definitive physical wit by Bob Fosse, the premiere starred Gwen Verdon.
