Rare original 14” x 22” Broadway window card for HERE’S WHERE I BELONG, one of Broadway’s legendary one-performance musicals.

Based on John Steinbeck’s EAST OF EDEN, HERE’S WHERE I BELONG began previews at the Billy Rose Theatre on February 7, 1968. After 20 previews, it officially opened on March 3, 1968 — and closed that same night after just ONE Broadway performance.

The musical featured music by Robert Waldman and lyrics by Alfred Uhry, who would later win Tony Awards for PARADE and THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO. The production was directed by Michael Kahn, choreographed by Tony Mordente, with scenic design by Ming Cho Lee, lighting by Jules Fisher, and orchestrations that included Jonathan Tunick. The original company included James Coco, Heather MacRae, Graciela Daniele, Ken Kercheval and Paul Rogers.

HERE’S WHERE I BELONG later became part of Broadway flop lore, and the show is represented among the celebrated theatrical failures displayed at Joe Allen Restaurant’s famous “Flop Wall” in New York’s Theatre District.

This window card is NOT represented as having come from Joe Allen Restaurant; the Joe Allen reference is included only as historical context for the show’s place in Broadway flop history.

A wonderful piece for collectors of Broadway history, legendary theatrical flops, John Steinbeck adaptations, or vintage theatrical advertising.

Original Broadway window card measuring approximately 14” x 22”.
