Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:12530096
Original Description:
This extremely rare window card is for  the Washington, DC tryout at the National Theatre for "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, " a 1976 musical with music by Leonard Bernstein and book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner.  It previewed for 4 weeks in at the National Theatre to very critical reviews.  It is considered to be a legendary Broadway flop, running only seven performances. It was Bernstein's last original score for Broadway. , . It is considered to be a ...legendary Broadway flop:  it opened on May 4, 1976, at the Mark Hellinger Theatre and closed on May 8, 1976, after 7 performances and 13 previews. It was co-directed and co-choreographed by Gilbert Moses and George Faison.  It was Bernstein's last original score for Broadway. I saw the show at the National Theatre twice.  Once early in the run and then again toward the end.  It got better but despite beautiful music and several outstanding performers, the book tried to tackle too much history and too many issues.Author Ethan Mordden noted that "Bernstein and Lerner created an astonishingly good score, even a synoptic all-American one, with fanfare, march, waltz, blues. It's Bernstein's most classical work for Broadway."[The window card is shown in a black frame with non-glare glass, which is not part of the sale.   This listing is for the poster only.  I will be listing over 80 window cards from Broadway shows over the next week.I will combine postage if more than one poster is purchased.
