Description: This is a rare glossy press photograph of JOHN RAITT in a scene from the Original Broadway production of the EDWARD PADULA, OSCAR BRAND and PAUL NASSAU musical flop "A JOYFUL NOISE" which played the Mark Hellinger Theatre in New York City. (The production opened December 15th, 1966 and closed after only twelve performances.) ..... The musical starred JOHN RAITT and featured SWEN SWENSON, KAREN MORROW, CLIFFORD DAVID, SUSAN WATSON, GEORGE MATHEWS, LELAND PALMER, ART WALLACE, BAAYORK LEE, TOMMY TUNE and THE MOTLEY CREW ..... Side Note: The production went through major alterations during its Pre-Broadway tour, most notable in the number of cast changes. DONNA McKECHNIE was replaced by SUSAN WATSON, JAMES RADO (co-author of the Rock Musical "HAIR" the following season) was replaced by CLIFFORD DAVID and MITZI WELCH's role was taken over by KAREN MORROW. The show's book, originally by EDWARD PADULA was re-written by DORE SCHARY who also took over directing duties from BEN SHAKTMAN. The only real redeeming value in the show was its choreography - the first Broadway Musical with dances staged by MICHAEL BENNETT ("A Chorus Line") .....
