Projection Difficulties

Metro Pulse: "After opening at Broadway’s Adelphi Theatre in January of 1947, Kurt Weill’s Street Scene, his venture toward an “American opera,” went on to win the first-ever Tony Award for a Composer (now Best Original Score), beating out notable original productions of Finian’s Rainbow and Brigadoon. Yet Street Scene ran for only 148 performances—unsuccessful by Broadway standards—closing because of “production difficulties.”"
