About the Item

"Girl Who Came to Supper" Costume Design 1963 Broadway Musical Tony Nomination Irene Sharaff (1910-1993) "Girl Who Came to Supper" 16 x 13 inches Gouache, watercolor, pen and ink on heavy paper Signed and inscribed: Sharaff, Noel Cowards "The Girl Who Came to Supper" lower right THE SHOW "The Girl Who Came to Supper" is a 1963 Broadway musical with music/lyrics by Noël Coward and a book by Harry Kurnitz, based on Terence Rattigan's "The Sleeping Prince." Starring Florence Henderson and José Ferrer, it opened at the Broadway Theatre on Dec 8, 1963, running for 112 performances. It is noted for Tessie O'Shea's show-stopping performance for which she won a Tony Award. Rattigan's play had been staged in London with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, on Broadway with Michael Redgrave and Barbara Bel Geddes, and filmed as "The Prince and the Showgirl" with Olivier and Marilyn Monroe.. The musical opened to rave reviews in Boston but was received less favorably by the critics in Toronto. During its Philadelphia run, President Kennedy was assassinated, necessitating the replacement of the opening number, "Long Live the King (If He Can)". The musical opened on Broadway, directed and choreographed by Joe Layton, on December 8, 1963 at The Broadway Theatre, where it ran for 112 performances and four previews. The cast featured Florence Henderson as Mary, José Ferrer as Charles, Irene Browne as the Queen Mother, Sean Scully as Nicholas, British music hall star Tessie O'Shea as Ada Cockle, and Roderick Cook as Peter Northbrook. Henderson and O'Shea were singled out for praise by the critics — Henderson for her one-woman delivery of an abridged version of The Coconut Girl, and O'Shea for her extended song-and-dance routine of Cockney tunes. O'Shea won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. Nominations also went to Coward and Kurnitz for Best Author of a Musical and Irene Sharaff for Best Costume Design. The show proved to be the last with a Coward score and the only one of his musicals never produced in London. BIO Irene Sharaff is recognized as one of the most celebrated costume designers for Broadway and Hollywood. After training in fashion illustration, she assisted noted designer and costume historian Aline Bernstein. Like her mentor, she was able to combine her knowledge of historical detail into the requirements of each individual project. Praised for her manipulation of color and historic detail, Sharaff costumed over 50 Broadway plays and musicals and received 8 Tony™ nominations, winning for The King and I, as well as dance works for Jerome Robbins and George Balanchine. Equally at home in Hollywood, she earned 15 Oscar™ nominations, winning for West Side Story. She received the Theatre Development Fund’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993. That service organization has also established an annual Irene Sharaff Awards program which honors Lifetime Achievement, a Young Master, and a Master Artisan (costume shop, millinery, shoemaker, etc.) for their contributions to the field.
