A rare and wonderful collection of 11 Playbills/programs from the classic Broadway musicals of the 1950s (and one from early 1960) with the great stage legends, including:
- Gypsy with Ethel Merman from February 22, 1960
- Happy Hunting with Ethel Merman from December 1956
- Pal Joey with Fernando Llamas and Vivienne Segal from December 1952
- Gigi with Audrey Hepburn from April 1952
- The Music Man with Robert Preston and Barbara Cook from December 1957

- Look After Lulu with Tammy Grimes and Roddy McDowell from March 16, 1959
Overall, this groupof original programs are in really good shape for 70+ year-old paper items, but do show signs of normal wear, age yellowing/discoloration, minor rips, minor edgewear and corner bending on some pages, etc. but are still really nice. If you are interested in more details about a particular Playbill/program, I\'m happy to take and send specific pictures.
A really remarkable and rare set for any theater collector or lover.
I\'m not an expert so I took lots of pictures. Please look at them very carefully and if you have any questions about anything, please email me before you offer - and feel free not to offer if you\'re not totally comfortable with anything.
This collectible set comes from a smoke-free home.
