Show Girl (1929 musical)

Other scenes take place in Trenton, New Jersey; Brooklyn; and at a Penthouse apartment in New York City.

The Broadway production was produced by Florenz Ziegfeld, directed by McGuire, and choreographed by Bobby Connolly, with ballet sequences—including one set to An American in Paris—by Albertina Rasch.

The cast included Ruby Keeler as Dixie (replaced by Dorothy Stone a few weeks into the run, Jimmy Durante, Eddie Foy, Jr., Frank McHugh, and Nick Lucas.

Keeler's husband, Al Jolson, frequently sat in the audience and serenaded her with the show's closing number, "Liza (All the Clouds'll Roll Away)", from his seat.

By the end of July, she had to withdraw due to illness—receiving necessary surgery—and Dorothy Stone took over the role,[5] actually appearing for about twice as many performances as Keeler.
