Call Me Madam Playbill - June 1951
Ethel Merman and Irving Berlin in rehearsal for Call Me Madam
On the anniversary of the opening of the original production, we paged through our old Playbills and found this piece about the show that changed the canon.
To mark the 80th birthday of composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim in 2010, Playbill.com asked Broadway songwriters to do the impossible—pick their favorite songs by the master.
In a 1985 feature, Playbill spoke to the playwright of groundbreaking As Is before its May 1 Broadway opening, and reported from a rehearsal of the Off-Broadway premiere of The Normal Heart.
