Broadway master George Abbott and then-newcomer Bob Merrill (“Carnival,” “Funny Girl”) bring O’Neill’s 1921 classic to colorful turn of the century New York in this solid star vehicle which blends the moving tenderness of the original play with appealing melodies and infectious dances. An old Swedish sailor is overjoyed when his daughter Anna visits him after fifteen years of living in St. Paul, but his crony Marthy realizes she is not the sweet innocent her father imagines, but a former streetwalker come back to reassemble the pieces of her shattered life. Anna gradually fits in with her father’s friends, even falling in love for the first time – until an envious Marthy spills the truth about Anna’s past at a neighborhood ball, nearly destroying her dream of happiness. Written for the incomparable Gwen Verdon, the show is ideal for a charismatic “triple-threat” performer.
