The original production opened on March 31, 1943 and was a box office hit, running for an unprecedented 2,212 performances, later enjoying award-winning revivals, national tours, foreign productions and an Oscar-winning 1955 film adaptation. It has long been a popular choice for school and community productions and won a special Pulitzer Prize in 1944.
