Buttrio Square

1952 musical

Buttrio Square was a Broadway musical that premiered on 14 October 1952. William Goldman called it a "legendary production", meaning "a certain kind of Broadway show that by virtue of its birth agonies and the resulting publicity achieves an immortality most productions never dare aspire to."[1] The production was notoriously difficult, running out of money during tryouts and only kept alive by an investment from the cast. The musical was poorly reviewed.[2][3]
