Eileen Darby Photo Assignments

My Sister Eileen December 23, 1940
My Sister Eileen was a joyous comedy based on Ruth McKenney's New Yorker stories about the urban adventures of her attractive sister Eileen. The Max Gordon production, staged by George S. Kaufman, ran for an incredible 864 performances. In a tragic twist, newlyweds Eileen McKenney and husband novelist Nathaniel West were killed in an automobile accident only 4 days before the opening. The show was adapted into the great musical Wonderful Town by Betty Comden, Adolph Green, and Leonard Bernstein in 1953.

On the Town circa 1944
Inspired by Jerome Robbins' earlier ballet Fancy Free, On The Town brilliantly dramatized the adventures of three sailors in New York on a 24-hour pass. Robbins' driving creative vision as both director and choreographer on this show and his West Side Story (1957) planted the seeds for the so called "concept musical," such as "Cabaret" (1966) and "Chicago" (1975).
