The Pink Jungle (1959, closed in Boston)
Choose options
Leslie Stevens and Neil Hefti’s highly ambitious 1959 musical comedy 'The Pink Jungle' infamously collapsed, encountered severe critical hostility, and closed during its out-of-town pre-Broadway tryout engagement at Boston's historic Shubert Theatre, never reaching its planned New York debut. Conceived as a sharp, brassy satirical lampoon of the cutthroat corporate cosmetics industry machine, the fast-paced plot tracks an eccentric woman executive who orchestrates a frantic campaign of marketing deceptions to launch a lipstick brand, starring Hollywood legend Ginger Rogers and Agnes Moorehead.
