Misc. Show Information
Opened September 1, 1947 at the Shubert Theatre in New Haven
The first of only two original musicals by Rodgers & Hammerstein not adapted from another source. The Show opened to the largest advanced sale in Broadway History. The reviews from the show brought on such a critical reaction and mixed reviews it became controversial. Due to all the bad reviews the show closed 10 months after arriving on broadway and the show failed to pay back its original production costs, and a national tour that visited 16 cities from November '48 to June of '49 didn't fare much better, either critically or financially.
