Gloria DeHaven "SEVENTH HEAVEN" Chita Rivera / Beatrice Arthur 1955 FLOP Tryout

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. (See cut song below.) ........ This is a rare May 2nd, 1955 "Playgoer" playbill from the Pre-Broadway engagement of the VICTOR YOUNG, VICTOR WOLFSON and STELLA UNGER musical comedy "SEVENTH HEAVEN" at the Forrest Theatre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (The production would open May 26th, 1955 at the ANTA Theatre in New York City and close after only 44 performances.) ..... The musical starred GLORIA DE HAVEN, RICARDO MONTALBAN and KURT KASZNAR and featured ROBERT CLARY, FIFI D'ORSAY (who was replaced at this performance by BEATRICE "Bea" ARTHUR), PATRICIA HAMMERLEE, CHITA RIVERA, GERRIANNE RAPHAEL, MALCOLM LEE BEGGS, JOHN CARTER, BONNIE EVANS, SCOTT MERRILL, DAVID COLLYER and FERDI HOFFMAN ..... CREDITS: Music by VICTOR YOUNG; Book by VICTOR WOLFSON and STELLA UNGER based on the play "Seventh Heaven" written by AUSTIN STRONG and produced by JOHN GOLDEN; Lyrics by STELLA UNGER; Sets and Costumes designed by MARCEL VERTES; Choreographed by PETER GENNARO; Directed by JOHN C. WILSON; Produced by GANT GAITHER and WILLIAM BACHER ..... DETAILS: The twelve page playbill measures 6" X 9" inches and includes full production credits, cast list, synopsis of scenes, list of musical numbers and bios of the two leading actors, but no cast photos. Includes an insert noting that at this performance, the part of "Mme. Suze" would be played by BEATRICE ARTHUR (first scanned image) ..... CUT SONG: The list of musical numbers includes "May Your Blessings Be Many" which was cut out-of-town ..... CONDITION: With the exception of a light vertical crease and minor edge wear, this rare playbill is in excellent condition and will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any musical theatre aficionado or historian. This item will be carefully packaged in a protective, carded sleeve and backed by stiff cardboard.
