Broadway Bound: The Musicals That Never Came to Broadway

Bonanza Bound (1947)


Listen Later

It might end up being one the longest partnerships in the history of the American Musical. Betty Comden and Adolph Green, the lyricists of On the Town, Wonderful Town, Bells Are Ringing, Do Re Mi, Applause, On the 20th Century, the screenplay writers of Singing in the Rain, and the duo that

gave the world phrases like “New York, New York, it’s a helluva town!” “Never Never land!” “Make Someone Happy” “The Party’s Over” and so many others.

But, all of that amazing work might not have happened if they had brought their gold rush musical, Bonanza Bound, onto Broadway when they were first starting out!

Grab your sleds and huskies because there is gold in them that hills….and by hills I mean Philadelphia where we will look at 1947’s Bonanza Bound!
