A great deal of information is available about the production in 'Nobody's Stooge,' a book about Ted Healy published in 2015.[1] The cast included Phil Baker, Ted Healy and Norma Terris. Marion Harris appeared in the Broadway production at the Winter Garden Theatre.[2] A stand-out dancer was Helba Huara, whose innovative choreography was cited in many press reviews.[3][4] Smaller roles were taken by Sid Silvers, Helen Kane (the Boop-Boop-a-Doop Girl) and Shemp Howard (of the Three Stooges). During the show's national tour and a 4-month stop in Chicago, Larry Fine (also of the Three Stooges) met Healy and Shemp and joined the show in March 1928.
The show opened at the 44th Street Theatre on May 3, 1927, then transferred to the Winter Garden Theatre on October 10, 1927, and closed on November 12, 1927. It was produced by the Shubert Brothers, and directed by Gertrude Hoffmann and Charles Judels, with additional dances choreographed by Ralph Reader
When the show closed on Broadway, it toured the country, having hit runs in Abilene, Chicago, Detroit, Oakland and San Francisco, among other venues.[5][6][7]
