Hazel Flagg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hazel Flagg is a musical with a book by Ben Hecht, lyrics by Bob Hilliard, and music by Jule Styne.

Based on the 1937 screwball comedy film Nothing Sacred, the plot revolves around Wallace Cook, a writer for Everywhere Magazine, who suggests his editor should run an article about small-town girl Hazel Flagg, purportedly dying from exposure to radium. Cook invites her to New York City for an interview; after accepting, she discovers she was misdiagnosed but, anxious to visit the big city, decides not to reveal the truth . . and becomes a media darling embraced by a public deeply moved by her sad story.

The Broadway production, directed by David Alexander, opened on February 11, 1953 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre, where it ran for 190 performances. The cast included Helen Gallagher, John Howard, Thomas Mitchell, Benay Venuta, Ross Martin, Jonathan Harris, and Sheree North.

Unlike the typical musical comedy of the day, the show featured a considerable amount of ballet in its choreography.
