Chauve-Souris
|
July 20, 1943 |
A Russian musical revue that was a sensation on Broadway in several incarnations throughout the 1920's as staged by it's master of ceremonies, Nikita Balieff. This short lived revival was mounted by arrangement with his widow. The show featured colorful Russian costumes, settings, dance, acrobatics, and song and was a wonderful spectacle. The performance featured Dania Krupska, who later became an assistant to Agnes de Mille and an accomplished choreographer. |

The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical directed and choreographed by Agnes de Mille. An abstract concept, the musical portrayed the first 35 years of a man's life beginning with birth. The play was not considered a success at 315 performances, and has never seen a revival despite containing several well-regarded songs. |
