I know it's a long shot but I'm interested to know if anyone might know the history of this sign. It is from the 70's. I can't imagine what it was used for. I doubt it was mass produced. It may have been custom made.

Two things come to my mind:
Maybe an opening night gift for the creative team or investors?
Possibly to hang in a window of a local diner as an advertisement or to hang in the bar of the Shubert?

Posted: 2/3/14 at 10:41pmI would imagine it was commissioned by someone directly involved with the production, since the title art is too identical to be "fan-made." It's likely advertising or promotional...maybe this hung in a storefront window at a record album store?

Probably paid too much at $175.00 but to me it's priceless and will look great next to the finale costume I won years and years ago.

Posted: 2/4/14 at 8:56pmYeah I think it's very cool too, and you didn't pay too much if it is something that you love. Congrats!

Posted: 2/4/14 at 9:09pmWow I've always wondered how they got into that finale costume so fast. Now I know. It's a complete one piece! They just slipped the whole thing on!

"Probably paid too much at $175.00"
But that's the going rate for a Broadway musical these days, so it's not like some far out extravagance.
