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 January 4th, 1965 playbill from the Pre-Broadway tryout of the "Sherlock Holmes" musical "BAKER STREET" which played the Shubert Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. (The production would open February 16th, 1965 at the Broadway Theatre in New York City and run for 311 performances.) ..... The musical starred FRITZ WEAVER, MARTIN GABEL and INGA SWENSON (all three shown in the cover photo) and featured PETER SALLIS, PATRICK HORGAN, MARTIN WOLFSON, PADDY EDWARDS, TEDDY GREEN, DANIEL KEYES, JAY NORMAN, CHRISTOPHER WALKEN and dancer and future director/ choreographer TOMMY TUNE (in his Broadway debut) .....

COHEN .....
