Around this production
Let's Face It! is a musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. The book by Herbert and Dorothy Fields is based on the 1925 play The Cradle Snatchers by Russell Medcraft and Norma Mitchell. The 1941 Broadway and 1942 West End productions were successful, and a film version was released in 1943.
On Broadway the show consolidated Danny Kaye’s reputation after playing Lady in the Dark, and then Kaye ignored the American musical for thirty years until manhandling Richard Rodgers’ ‘Noah’ musical Two by Two. West End Broadway the Golden Age of the American Musical In London Adrian Wright, p. 26
