The original play was staged more than two thousand times on Broadway, and it has been presented continuously around the world by touring companies and local theater groups. It has been made into big-screen and television movies and has gone through several revivals. Its greatest achievement was to restore the musical to prominence, opening the way for the staging of the greatest blockbusters ever performed. This book describes the path the play took from concept to the stage, its Broadway run, its influence, and the people who made the show a success.
