Jerry Orbach "PROMISES, PROMISES" Burt Bacharach 1968 Tryout Souvenir Program

Description

This is a rare souvenir program from the Pre-Broadway tryouts of the NEIL SIMON, BURT BACHARACH and HAL DAVID musical comedy hit "PROMISES, PROMISES". (The production would open December 1st, 1968 at the Sam S. Shubert Theatre in New York City and run for 1281 performances.) ..... The musical starred the late JERRY ORBACH (awarded the 1969 Tony Award for "Best Actor in a Musical"), JILL O'HARA and EDWARD WINTER and featured DONNA McKECHNIE, PAUL REED, DICK O'NEILL, VINCE O'BRIEN, A. LARRY HAINES, MARIAN MERCER, MILLIE SLAVIN, ADRIENNE ANGEL, BARBARA LANG and NORMAN SHELLY ..... CREDITS: Music by BURT BACHARACH; Lyrics by HAL DAVID; Book by NEIL SIMON based on the screenplay "The Apartment" by BILLY WILDER and I. A. L. DIAMOND; Sets designed by ROBIN WAGNER; Costumes designed by DONALD BROOKS; Choreographed by MICHAEL BENNETT; Directed by ROBERT MOORE; Produced by DAVID MERRICK ..... DETAILS: The oversized 36 page program measures 9" X 12" inches and includes full production credits, cast list, photos and bios of each of the leading actors and members of the creative team and two pages of rehearsal photos ..... NOTE: This program is a real oddity as all the inside pages were printed in duplicate, so when I describe it as a 36 page program, there are actually 18 different pages but 36 pages total ..... CONDITION: With the exception of light soiling along the top of the cover, this rare program is in excellent condition and will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any musical theatre aficionado or historian .....
