Dispo: Synopsis  Génèse  

Genèse: Billy Gilbert, who played Mario, was a popular comic star of films and the stage who had recently appeared on Broadway in two floperettas, Gypsy Lady and a revival of The Chocolate Soldier. Gilbert cowrote the book, and one Gen Genovese was colibrettist, lyricist, producer, and author of the story on which the show was based. Buttrio Square had a terribly troubled history. During rehearsals, a postdated check written to cover the Equity bond bounced, and Equity stepped in and halted rehearsals. Both Boston and Philadelphia tryouts were scratched when a major backer withdrew funding. Eugene Loring, the choreographer, took over the direction as well, replacing Dale Wasserman. At the last minute, Loring was forced to form a syndicate of fifty enthusiastic cast members, each of whom invested two hundred dollars so that the show could open. But critics were horrified, with good words only for talented newcomer Susan Johnson as the would-be WAC.
