Abstract:

Papers of Herman Levin, a leading Broadway producer. Especially rich in its coverage of the financial aspects of theatrical production, the collection also includes correspondence, contracts and Actors' Equity agreements, lyrics and orchestrations, microfilmed scrapbooks, a few scripts, and miscellaneous other production records. Much of the collection relates to Levin's much-acclaimed success My Fair Lady (1956), with the remainder consisting of material on other major productions including Call Me Mister (1946), produced with Melvyn Douglas; No Exit (1946); Gentlemen Prefer Blonds (1946), which he produced in collaboration with Oliver Smith; The Girl Who Came to Supper (1963); the award-winning The Great White Hope (1968); and a controversial Lovely Ladies, Kind Gentlemen (1970).
