Excessively scarce autographed typed document by the composer, acknowledging the receipt of the manuscript and score of his Broadway show “Juno” from his publisher, Chappell, a month after the shows’ premier, 14 April, 1959.  Blitzstein and Joseph Stein’s musical opened at the Winter Garden Theatre on 9 March, 1959, under the direction of Jose Ferrer and Agnes De Mille, with orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennett and Blitzstein.  The tragic tale revolves around a family during the Irish War of Independence proved too dark for the taste of the public as a musical despite the superb acting and singing of Shirley Booth and Melvyn Douglas and closed after 16 performances, on 21 March, 1959.

City Center Encores! presented a week’s run of the musical this past March to critical acclaim, despite the dark score and script!

We offer with an original 7” x 9” double-weight Talbot photograph of the composer.
