Around this production

The show is famous for launching 19-year-old Barbra Streisand to stardom. In a supporting role as the secretary Miss Marmelstein, she stopped the show nightly with her comic number. Elliott Gould, who played the lead, married Streisand shortly after.

Haro_pD Rome’s last full-scale Broadway musical was I Can Get It for You Wholesale (3/22/62: 300 performances). The David Merrick production made history when, on opening night, a star was born. Her name was Barbra Streisand; although she had only a small role as Miss Marmelstein, a secretary, she stopped the Show.
