Stephen Schwartz "MAGIC SHOW" Doug Henning 1975 Los Angeles Playbill with Ticket

Description: This is a rare July 1975 playbill (with an original ticket stub) from the National Tour engagement of the STEPHEN SCHWARTZ, BOB RANDALL and DOUG HENNING musical hit "THE MAGIC SHOW" at the Shubert Theatre in Century City, Los Angeles, California. (The production opened May 28th, 1974 at the Cort Theatre in New York City and ran for 1920 performances while simultaneously playing on the road.) ..... By 1974, magic had lost its mass appeal and there was no such thing as a celebrity magician until a skinny, bucktoothed kid from Winnipeg became an overnight star in the unlikely Broadway musical hit, "The Magic Show". DOUG HENNING, with his refreshingly modern approach to the art of illusion, permanently changed the face of magic and reintroduced an entire generation of audiences to grand illusion as a theatrical art. The musical starred PETER DePAULA, PAUL KEITH, PIPPA PEARTHREE and HESTER LEWELLEN and the cast included SIGNA JOY, SUSAN EDWARDS, DANIEL CASS, W. P. DREMAK, RICHARD BALESTRINO and ROBERT BRUBACH ..... CREDITS: Music and Lyrics by STEPHEN SCHWARTZ ("The Magic Show", "Godspell", "Pippin", "The Baker's Wife", "Working", "Rags", "Children of Eden", "Wicked"); Book by BOB RANDALL; Magic by DOUG HENNING; Sets designed by DAVID CHAPMAN; Costumes designed by RANDY BARCELO; Directed and Choreographed by GROVER DALE; Produced by EDGAR LANSBURY, JOSEPH BERUH and IVAN REITMAN ..... DETAILS: The 32 page playbill measures 5 3/4" X 8 3/8" inches and includes full production credits, cast list, musical numbers and bios of each of the actors and members of the creative team, but no cast photos. Includes a ticket stub from the July 19th, 1975 matinee performance taped to the cover ..... CONDITION: With the exception of slight edge discoloration, this playbill is in excellent condition and will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any musical theatre aficionado or historian. This item will be carefully packaged in a protective, carded sleeve and backed by stiff cardboard.
