leenorman Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Too Many Girls opens in NYC at the Imperial Theatre, Broadway - Desi Arnaz had never attended a Broadway show; now, he is starring in one created by some of the most dazzling talents in the musical theater, giving a flawless performance, getting a “standing ovation” from the audience at the end of the first act. When the curtain comes down, Desi walks to LaConga for the midnight show, as if nothing unusual has occurred. Lucille Ball, regarding this show many years later: “Too Many Girls is not only the title of your first show, it is the story of your life,” play opens this date in 1939.
