Choose options
Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer’s 'St. Louis Woman' completed a celebrated original Broadway premiere run at the Martin Beck Theatre in 1946, running for an accomplished 113 performances under the banner of producer Edward Gross. Conceived as an opulent, high-stepping historical musical drama spectacularly driven note-for-note by a rhythm-and-blues score from "Come Rain or Come Shine" to "Any Place I Hang My Hat," the narrative book tracks a turf racing triangle, starring Pearl Bailey.
