Description: This is a rare advertising herald (flyer) promoting the Original Broadway production of the CLAYTON ASHLEY, STANLEY ADAMS, FRED SPIELMAN and ARTHUR GERSHWIN musical "A LADY SAYS YES" at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York City. (The production was titled "A LADY OF ?" during the out-of-town tryouts, but was retitled "A LADY SAYS YES" prior to opening January 10th, 1945 at the Broadhurst Theatre where it survived for only 87 performances.) ..... The musical starred CAROLE LANDIS (shown in photos on both sides of the flyer), SUE RYAN and CHRISTINE AYRES and featured ARTHUR MAXWELL, JACQUELINE SUSANN, MARTHA KING, PITTMAN CORRY, TATIANA GRANTZEVA, STEVE MILLS, EARL McDONALD, AL KLEIN and JACK ALBERTSON ..... Side Note: ARTHUR GERSHWIN (1900-1981) was the younger brother of George and Ira Gershwin. This was his only Broadway credit. JACQUELINE SUSANN (1918-1974) is best known for her controversial novels, most notably "Valley of the Dolls", but started her career as an actress, appearing in seven Broadway plays and musicals between 1936 and 1945 ..... CREDITS: Music by FRED SPIELMAN and ARTHUR GERSHWIN; Book by CLAYTON ASHLEY; Lyrics by STANLEY ADAMS; Sets designed by WATSON BARRATT; Costumes designed by LOU EISELE; Choreographed by BOOTS McKENNA; Ballets by NATALIE KAMAROVA; Orchestra Conducted by VING MERLIN; Directed by EDGAR McGREGOR; Produced by J. J. SHUBERT in association with CLAYTON-ASHLEY .....

CONDITION: With the exception of a fold across the middle and a tiny tear on the right side of the fold, this rare flyer is in excellent condition and will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any musical theatre aficionado or historian.
