{"value"=>"<p>No, No, Nanette was originally composed in 1925 by Vincent Youmans with lyrics by Irving Caesar and Otto Harbach, and a book by Otto Harbach and Frank Mandel. The 1971 revival was conceived by Harry Rigby and had a book adapted by Burt Shevelove, music orchestrated by Ralph Burns, incidental music by Luther Henderson, and vocal arrangements by Buster Davis. The production supervisor was Busby Berkeley.</p> <p>This series has two divisions: one for the Broadway run of the show, and the other for that production's pre-Broadway runs and later touring companies. Contents include contracts, casting and production files, correspondence, photographs, legal and insurance papers, house attendance and financial tallies, and publicity materials including press releases, advertising files, clippings, and correspondence with publicists and media.</p> <p>The casting files mostly contain actor resumes and headshots, and some have correspondence. They include cast from both the Broadway production and from the pre-Broadway or touring companies of the show. Major actors such as Helen Gallagher, Ruby Keeler, Benny Baker and Bobby Van appeared in the various versions of the show.</p> <p>The production files document the show's pre-production and the day-to-day issues of running a Broadway musical. The contracts, with the exception of Buster Davis's file, are arranged by job title. These files also contain correspondence, as well as separate folders of cancelled contracts.</p> <p>The correspondence files under the Broadway production hold letters to and from every conceivable person or entity associated with the show: actors and their representatives, publishers, directors, choreographers, publicity agents, lawyers, the 46th Street Theatre, the actors' and stagehands' unions, media, etc.</p> <p>Other files for the Broadway production document the 46th Street Theatre, rehearsals, scripts, Playbill copy and production, the souvenir program, television and film appearances and proposals, and the 1971 Tony awards ceremony.</p> <p>The files for pre-Broadway and touring versions of the show consist primarily of information on those productions as they appeared in major cities in the United States, Canada and England. They do not include files for the dozens of other locations the touring companies visited across the U.S. The files hold correspondence, publicity materials, programs, clippings, cast information, and a framed poster for the Cleveland production. The Japan file contains a proposal, not an actual production.</p>"}
