Cast: Vivian Allen, Hal Anthony, Marion Bailey, Gracie Barrie, Matthew Bocchino, Evelyn Bonfine, Victor Borge, Diosa Costello, Don Cummings, Eleanor Dawn, Harold Gary, Ted Gary, Luella Gear, Phillip Gordon, Harry Hale, Wilma Horner, Willie Howard, Helen Hudson, Betty Kean, Al Kelly, Stapleton Kent, Philip King, Bobby Lane, Remi Martel, Naldi, Frances O'Day, Dale Priest, Carlos Ramiriz, Mary Raye, Irene Reilly, Helenita Riordan, David Rollins, Matthew Smith, Jean Stanton, Tip, Tap, and Toe, Edna Ward, Frances Williams. Produced by Ed Sullivan. Note: When the original show opened to disastrous reviews the investors demanded Kurt Kasznar be replaced as producer/director in favor of Mr. Sullivan. The original production closed after 7 performances. Sullivan felt unqualified to act as director and hired Mr. Brown and the pair quickly hired new actors and songs were added/shuffled. Although Sullivan's reworking failed to completely recoup costs, it was considered a remarkable achievement given the time constraints involved. more
