Stage production

St. Louis Woman

Opening date: March 30, 1946
Comments: Although it had a good score, Lena Horne withdrew from the show after reading the script which she found stereotyped African-Americans. The production was also beset with other personnel problems. This musical comedy ran only 113 performances at the Martin Beck Theatre.
