Produced by Ed Sullivan. Note: When the original show opened to disastrous reviews the investors demanded Kurt Kasznar be replaced as producer/director in favor of Mr. Sullivan. The original production closed after 7 performances. Sullivan felt unqualified to act as director and hired Mr. Brown and the pair quickly hired new actors and songs were added/shuffled. Although Sullivan's reworking failed to completely recoup costs, it was considered a remarkable achievement given the time constraints involved. more
