Vernon Duke, Howard Dietz, and Rouben Mamoulian’s 'Sadie Thompson' completed an accomplished original Broadway premiere run at the Alvin Theatre in 1944, running for a successful commercial residency under the banner of producer B.P. Schulberg. Masterfully translating W. Somerset Maugham’s classic literature masterpiece *Rain* onto the musical stage, the melody-infused dramatic tragedy tracks an independent call girl on a remote South Pacific island who enters a brutal psychological battle of wills with a puritanical missionary. The historic original production starred June Havoc.
