The Pink Jungle (1959, closed in Boston) - repro
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.
