Opening Night Playbill MOOSE MURDERS infamous flop 2/22/83 VG+

Description

Rare Opening Night Premiere (and Closing Night!) Playbill of Moose Murders starring Holland Taylor, June Gable and Nicholas Hormann.  Opened February 22, 1983 at the Eugene O'Neill Theater.
Ignominiously closed after opening night performance.
Directed by John Roach.
Book by Arthur Bicknell.
Considered one of the worst (if not THE worst) show ever to open on Broadway.
The opening paragraph of Frank Rich's New York Times review says it all;
From now on, there will always be two groups of theatergoers in this world: those who have seen ''Moose Murders,'' and those who have not. Those of us who have witnessed the play that opened at the Eugene O'Neill Theater last night will undoubtedly hold periodic reunions, in the noble tradition of survivors of the Titanic. Tears and booze will flow in equal measure, and there will be a prize awarded to the bearer of the most outstanding antlers. As for those theatergoers who miss ''Moose Murders'' - well, they just don't rate. A visit to ''Moose Murders'' is what will separate the connoisseurs of Broadway disaster from mere dilettantes for many moons to come.
In VG+ condition.  Pages tight, staples intact.
