Kaufman-staged English comedy import, whose laughs revolve around the wooing of a bride-to-be (Anne Burr) by a French airman (Alexander Ivo) and an American lieutenant (Lewis Howard), and the outlandish silliness of her father (Melville Cooper). Sadie Thompson September 21, 1944 A musical version of W. Somerset Maugham's "Rain," in which the title character was originally offered to Ethel Merman, who turned it down, and was replaced by June Havoc. The production was directed by Rouben Mamoulian, whose previous Broadway show was Oklahoma!. Rebecca September 1944 Daphne Du Maurier's adaptation of her own novel "Rebecca" satisfied the curiosity of hinterland theatregoers eager to see Diana Barrymore and her husband Bramwell Fletcher in the roles played so brilliantly in the 1940 Hitchcock film version with Joan Fontaine and Laurence Olivier. Gotham critics were not kind, and the show ran a mere 20 performances. Sing Out Sweet Land (part of series: American History In Song) November 1944 Walter Kerr's colorful salute to American folk and popular music, produced by the Theatre Guild and featuring Alfred Drake, fresh from Oklahoma!, Burl Ives, and Juanita Hall. Many Happy Returns December 11, 1944 A very poorly received comedy starring Mary Astor, in her Broadway debut, as Cynthia Laceby and Neil Hamilton as Henry Burton. The show follows the wooing escapades of a sophisticated woman who ensnares a young man, his older banker father, and then several other men before the curtain falls for 1 of only 3 performances. Bloomer Girl circa 1944 Starring Celeste Holm as Evelina in her first star billing, and Joan McCracken as Daisy. Choreography by Agnes de Mille. The 1861-period musical comedy centers on the theme of woman's liberation, represented by the then-shocking leg-exposing fashion of the bloomer. At the Shubert Theatre on 44th street, New York. « no results match your search » Only 284 of the 1835 shows Eileen Darby photographed have made it to our website so far contact us and we may be able to find what you are looking for.
