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 songs below.) ....... This is a rare September 9th, 1963 playbill from the Pre-Broadway tryout of the TOM JONES and HARVEY SCHMIDT musical "110 IN THE SHADE" at the Shubert Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. (The production would open October 24th, 1963 at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York City and run for 330 performances.) ..... The musical starred ROBERT HORTON, INGA SWENSON and STEPHEN DOUGLASS (all shown in the cover photo) and featured seventeen year-old LESLEY (Ann) WARREN (in her Broadway debut), WILL GEER, STEVE ROLAND, SCOOTER TEAGUE, FRED MILLER (replaced out-of-town), ADRIANE ROGERS (role eliminated out-of-town) and GEORGE CHURCH ..... CREDITS: Music by HARVEY SCHMIDT; Lyrics by TOM JONES (Schmidt and Jones are the songwriting team responsible for "The Fantasticks", "Celebration", "I Do! I Do!" and "Colette"); Book by N. RICHARD NASH based on his play "The Rainmaker"; Sets designed by OLIVER SMITH; Costumes designed by MOTLEY; Choreographed by AGNES DE MILLE; Directed by JOSEPH ANTHONY; Produced by DAVID MERRICK ..... DETAILS: The 34 page playbill measures 6" X 9" inches and includes full production credits, cast list, synopsis of scenes, list of musical numbers and bios of each of the leading actors and members of the creative team but with the exception of the front cover, no additional cast photos ..... CUT SONGS: The list of musical numbers includes "Evening Star", "I Live By Myself and I Like It" and "Too Many People Alone" which were cut prior to the Broadway opening .....
