Maid In The Ozarks
|
September 14, 1942 |
A farce staged by Jules Pfeiffer. The play about Kentucky hillbillies migrated from Los Angeles to Chicago and was roundly panned by critics. Tenaciously, the producer kept the show running until it was purchased by two Chicagoans who better marketed the show with a panache that drew theatre-goers and brought the play to profit. After five successful years traveling the country the play finally made it to Broadway in 1946. |
