''No Strings'' is a musical drama with a book by Samuel A. Taylor and words and music by Richard Rodgers, his only Broadway score for which he wrote both lyrics and music, and the first musical he composed after the death of his long-time collaborator Oscar Hammerstein II. The musical opened on Broadway in 1962 and ran for 580 performances. It received the nomination for Tony Award, Best Musical. ==Productions== The world premiere of ''No Strings'' was at the O'Keefe Centre (now the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts) in Toronto. The U.S. premiere was at the (Fisher Theater ) in Detroit, where the show ran from January 15 to February 3, 1962. The musical opened on March 15, 1962, at the 54th Street Theatre.

Joe Layton was both director and choreographer, with Diahann Carroll and Richard Kiley starring. Barbara McNair and Howard Keel replaced them later in the run. In December 1963, an equally successful London production, starring Art Lund and Beverly Todd, opened at Her Majesty's Theatre. In 2003, a staged concert production was held at New York's City Center as a part of its Encores! series. This production starred James Naughton and Maya Days and was directed and choreographed by Ann Reinking. 〔Brantley, Ben.( THEATER REVIEW; "Oh, Life Was Sweet And Paris a Bonbon" )''The New York Times'', May 10, 2003〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No Strings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
