Doug Henning "MAGIC SHOW" Stephen Schwartz ("Wicked") 1978 Souvenir Program

Description: This is a beautiful souvenir program from the the Original Broadway production of the STEPHEN SCHWARTZ, BOB RANDALL and DOUG HENNING musical hit "THE MAGIC SHOW" at the Cort Theatre in New York City. (The production opened May 28th, 1974 and ran for 1920 performances.) ..... 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 Original Broadway production starred DOUG HENNING and the cast included ANITA MORRIS, DALE SOULES, KENNETH KIMMINS, CHERYL BARNES, ANNIE McGREEVEY, SAM SCHACHT, EDDIE MEKKA, RONALD STAFFORD and T. MICHAEL REED .....
