March 10, 1956 –
The musical adaptation of the play High Tor, starring Bing Crosby, Nancy Olsen and Julie Andrews (in her TV debut) aired on the Ford Star Jubilee program on CBS, on this date.
Stephen Sondheim also set a musical version of the play High Tor, but Maxwell Anderson refused permission, so the Sondheim musical adaptation was never produced. Subsequent copyright extension acts mean the Stephen Sondheim music will be illegal until 2042.
