Which Frank Loesser musical about a middle-aged Napa Valley winemaker who woos a young waitress had its 1956 try-out at Philadelphia's Shubert Theatre before its Broadway opening, and later saw a landmark 1991 revival at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles?
The Most Happy Fella premiered on Broadway in May 1956 and ran for 676 performances. Loesser drew on Sidney Howard's 1924 play 'They Knew What They Wanted', and both the Philadelphia try-out and the LA revival earned strong notices.
