Poster of the Day

To bring back a popular feature of the blog...

Here's a nice curiosity item:



You may not be familiar with this Rodgers and Hammerstein title. That's because it only became a hit after it dropped "Away We Go!" and became..."Oklahoma!" So this is a poster from the tryouts.

It was this incarnation of the show--today widely considered the seminal modern American musical--that was dubbed by dismissively described by one critic as: "No legs, no jokes, no chance."

This and happily many more theatre poster images can actually be found at AllPosters.com, where, of course, they're for sale!

Happy hunting...
