Innocent Eyes (musical)

[1] Produced by brothers Jacob J. and Lee Shubert, the musical premiered at the Winter Garden Theatre on May 20, 1924, where it ran for 126 performances; closing on August 30, 1924.

[3] The production's lavish sets and costumes rivaled those of the Ziegfeld Follies; the work's chief competitor in the musical revue genre that Broadway season.

[1] The musical was created as a starring vehicle for the French actress and singer Mistinguett who had achieved fame at the Moulin Rouge and Folies Bergère.

Humiliated by bad reviews in the American press which dismissed Mistinguett's talents as both a singer and actress as "seldom rising above the level of mediocrity", she left the production early after just 31 performances.

Joan Crawford, then known as Lucile Le Sueur, made her Broadway debut in this production as one of the chorus girls.
