The Passing Shows of the 1920s

Adventures in Theater History: Philadelphia

Broadway tryouts and tours and revues were constantly coming to Philadelphia's many large and luxurious theaters during the 1920s - here's a quick review of the revues!
Even the Moscow Art Theatre came through town - as well as great productions of Eugene O'Neill plays.
Philly was a real Tryout Town, with such great venues as the Erlanger, the Garrick, the Earle, the Shubert, and the Forrest, as well as the revamped and re-designed Chestnut Street Opera House and the the Walnut Street Theatre.
