Premiere
I've been to the place where the world premiere was held. It was held at the Gillioz Theatre located in downtown Springfield, Missouri. It was also attended by President Harry S. Truman. The theater is currently being restored. An interesting note, the theatre and the building next to it, together, will be known as the Ronald and Nancy Reagan Center for the Arts. The Republican-based organization is trying to "give" this name to one theatre in each of the fifty states (I think the Gillioz was competing with 14 other theaters in Missouri alone!). They also sent a donation for this.
