Around this production
The most notorious flop of postwar musicals, it is curiously not one of the all-time worst shows—or at least it wasn't when it opened in Philadelphia in December 1964.
The New York reviews were so bad—and the show was so overbudget—that it never saw the light of another day. One-performance flops have become commonplace, but the actuality of $650,000 thrown away in one night put the undistinguished Kelly in the spotlight.
