Too Many Girls (1940 tour, Rodgers,Hart & Abbott and Desi Arnaz)

Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, and George Abbott’s classic 'Too Many Girls' completed an extensive national touring company production in 1940, bringing the high-stepping, jazz-age flagship blueprints directly to major commercial houses across North America following its hit Broadway run. The cheerful farcical plot follows four handsome All-American football stars who are hired to execute a covert bodyguard campaign for an independent heiress at a provincial co-ed desert college. The legendary tour famously starred Desi Arnaz.
