Silk Stockings is a musical with a book by George S. Kaufman , Leueen MacGrath , and Abe Burrows and music and lyrics by Cole Porter . The musical is loosely based on the Melchior Lengyel story Ninotchka and the 1939 film adaptation it inspired. [1] It ran on Broadway in 1955. [2] This was the last musical that Porter wrote for the stage.
During the "severely troubled tryout" George S. Kaufman and his wife Leueen MacGrath were replaced by Abe Burrows. (According to Cecil Michener Smith and Glenn Litton, Kaufman became angry and quit. [3] ) Burrows re-wrote most of the book. The producer Cy Feuer took over the direction from Kaufman. [4] The three leads had not previously performed in a Broadway musical comedy: Hildegard Knef was a German film and stage actress, Don Ameche had never sung, and Gretchen Wyler was making her Broadway debut. "All three triumphed." [3]
Following tryouts in Philadelphia , Boston , and Detroit , the production opened Broadway on February 24, 1955 at the Imperial Theatre , and closed on April 14, 1956 after 478 performances. [5]
Directed by Cy Feuer and choreographed by Eugene Loring , the cast included Hildegard Knef (Ninotchka), Don Ameche (Steve Canfield), Gretchen Wyler (Janice Dayton), George Tobias , David Opatoshu , Julie Newmar , and Onna White . [5] Jan Sherwood eventually replaced Knef as Ninotchka and also portrayed the role for the show's first national tour. Scenic and lighting designs were by Jo Mielziner and costumes were by Lucinda Ballard . The tour played the Curran Theatre , San Francisco , California starting in April 1956, [6] as well as Los Angeles. [7]
The score "played a large part in keeping Silk Stockings running on Broadway for 478 performances and in helping to recoup the immense production expenses for the show (brought in at a cost of $370,000, Silk Stockings was considered one of Broadway's most expensive musicals for its time)...The big hit...was clearly 'All of You'." [8]
The Lost Musicals staged reading of the musical was held in September 2005 in New York City. [9]
Hildegard Knef (original German spelling) gave a vivid backstage account of the casting, rehearsals, tryouts and Broadway opening of Silk Stockings in her autobiography The Gift Horse: Report on a Life (McGraw Hill, 1971) pages 281 through 342.
The musical involves special envoy Nina Yaschenko, who is dispatched from the Soviet Union to rescue three foolish commissars from the pleasures of Paris . Romanced by theatrical agent Steven Canfield, she eventually comes to recognize the virtues of capitalist indulgence. Other characters include Peter Boroff, Russia's greatest composer, who is being wooed by Janice Dayton, America 's swimming sweetheart, to write the score for her first non-aquatic picture, a musical adaptation of War and Peace .
A film Silk Stockings based on the stage musical was released in 1957.

Quotes
Peggy Dainton :
Writing, Directing, Cast. Those things don't mean a thing today. Today there are many other things that are much more important.

Today to get the public to attend the picture show, It's not enough to advertise a famous star they know. If you want to get the crowds to come around, You've gotta have glorious Technicolor, Breathtaking Cinemascope and, Stereophonic sound...

"Silk Stockings" is something of an enigma. Its release came at the moment much of America had switched over to viewing television and the musical film was dying. But it was still glorious. I couldn't care less about the 'outdated Red Russia' story line; this is a remake of a 1939 film and the USSR conflict was in the original as well. What're you gonna do? The main focus is on capitalist seduction- first by Tobias, Munshin, and Peter Lorre, then most beautifully by Astaire and Charisse. Note that in their first duet (the non-dancing "Paris Loves Lovers"), as they sing in perfect counterpoint, they appear to be undressing each other with their eyes. Later, in "All of You," the gloves come off and our two leads seduce each other through a most graceful dance in a living room. Astaire was 56 years old, Charisse was about 36, and there is still more electricity in their pairing than in some of the downright silly things passing as romantic comedies today. The undisputed highlight of the film is Ms. Charisse in a silent and sensuous expression of terpsichory as she puts on nude stockings, a camisole, and a flared transparent slip. OMG!!
