I'm currently listing a large number of playbills from out-of-town tryouts prior to the Broadway runs. Many are from early performances when revisions were common and include song titles that were cut before opening in New York. (See cut song below.)  ....... This is a rare September 30th, 1963 playbill from the Pre-Broadway tryout of the TOM JONES and HARVEY SCHMIDT musical "110 IN THE SHADE" at the Shubert Theatre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (The production would open October 24th, 1963 at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York City and run for 330 performances.) ..... The musical starred ROBERT HORTON, INGA SWENSON and STEPHEN DOUGLASS (all shown in the cover photo) and featured seventeen year-old LESLEY (Ann) WARREN (in what would be her Broadway debut), WILL GEER, STEVE ROLAND, SCOOTER TEAGUE and GEORGE CHURCH ..... CREDITS: Music by HARVEY SCHMIDT; Lyrics by TOM JONES (Schmidt and Jones are the songwriting team responsible for "The Fantasticks", "Celebration", "I Do! I Do!" and "Colette"); Book by N. RICHARD NASH based on his play "The Rainmaker"; Sets designed by OLIVER SMITH; Costumes designed by MOTLEY; Choreographed by AGNES DE MILLE; Directed by JOSEPH ANTHONY; Produced by DAVID MERRICK ..... DETAILS: The 26 page playbill measures 6" X 9" inches and includes full production credits, cast list, synopsis of scenes, list of musical numbers and bios of each of the leading actors and members of the creative team but with the exception of the front cover, no additional cast photos ..... CUT SONG: The list of musical numbers includes "I Live By Myself and I Like It" which was cut prior to the Broadway opening ..... CONDITION: This playbill is in excellent condition and will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any musical theatre aficionado or historian. This item will be carefully packaged in a protective, carded sleeve and backed by stiff cardboard.
