Stage[edit]

Hey! Has anyone out there participated in a prodcution of this musical? Was it fun and funny? Did the crowds like it? I've not seen it, but it has two songs I really like (I've Got Rythm" and "Embraceable You") and I'm trying to track it down. Thanks for the input.

Any info about the year this musical originally came out?

It was remade a third time in 1965 as When the Boys Meet the Girls, a rock 'n' roll teen flick starring Connie Francis and Harve Presnell, with Herman's Hermits, Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, Louis Armstrong(!) and Liberace(!!!), among others. Although it doesn't resemble the original very much, WTBMTG uses several of the Gerswhin songs and doesn't really do any more mayhem on the plot than the Garland/Rooney version or Crazy for You do. It was made by MGM, who still controlled the film rights after buying them for Judy and Mickey all those years before.
