Description

I'm currently listing a large number of playbills from out-of-town tryouts prior to the Broadway runs. Many are from early performances when revisions were common and include song titles that were cut before opening in New York ....... This is a rare autographed May 2nd, 1960 "On Stage" playbill from the Pre-Broadway tryout of the LIONEL BART and LAURIE JOHNSON Lusty London Musical "LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS!" at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. (A huge success in London in 1959, the production failed miserably in the States, opening April 27th, 1960 at the Shubert Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut and closing May 7th, 1960 in Boston.) ..... The musical starred HY HAZELL, HARRY LOCKE and FREDERICK JEAGER and featured JOHN MICHAEL KING, GEORGE S. IRVING, NANCY DUSSAULT, BRENDAN BARRY, ROBIN WENTWORTH, NORMAN BARRS, FRANCIS COMPTON, CHARLES MacDANIELS and ELIZABETH HUBBARD .....
