Learn the backstory on the Broadway musical that the Akron Beacon Journal called “the biggest
theatrical innovation on record here in the past 100 years.” American Musical Productions’
Executive Director Joseph Rubin will take you on a multimedia journey through the creation,
production, and restoration of Rodgers and Hart’s first musical comedy that premiered right here
in Akron, Ohio 100 years ago. You’ll hear rare recordings of the original cast, see rare
photographs and artifacts and enjoy glimpses of a 1955 TV adaptation.
