Description: I'm currently listing a large number of playbills from out-of-town tryouts prior to the Broadway runs. Many are from early performances when revisions were common and include song titles that were cut before opening in New York. (See cut songs below.) ....... This is a rare February 1981 playbill from the Pre-Broadway engagement of the JOHN KANDER and FRED EBB musical "WOMAN OF THE YEAR" at the Colonial Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. (The production would open March 29th, 1981 at the Palace Theatre in New York City and run for 770 performances.) ..... The musical starred LAUREN BACALL (shown in the cover photo) and featured HARRY GUARDINO, EIVIND HARUM, GRACE KEAGY, DAREN KELLY, TOM AVERA, REX HAYS, LAWRENCE RAIKEN, GERRY VICHI, MARILYN COOPER, REX EVERHART, JAMIE ROSS, DAVID LEEDS (whose role was eliminated out-of-town) and RODERICK COOK ..... CREDITS: Music by JOHN KANDER; Lyrics by FRED EBB (the songwriting team responsible for "Flora the Red Menace", "Cabaret", "Chicago", "Zorba", "Woman of the Year", "The Rink", "Kiss of the Spider Woman", "70, Girls, 70" and "Curtains"); Book by PETER STONE; Sets designed by TONY WALTON; Costumes designed by THEONI V. ALDREDGE; Choreographed by TONY CHARMOLI; Directed by ROBERT MOORE; Produced by LAWRENCE KASHA, DAVID S. LANDAY, JAMES M. NEDERLANDER and CAROLE J. SHORENSTEIN .....
