Iconic Treasures of Broadway: Silver Goblets Given to Gwen Verdon by Mary McCarty During the Original Broadway Run of Chicago
“When You’re Good to Mama, Mama’s Good to You.” These stunning silver goblets were given to the original Roxie Hart, the incomparable Gwen Verdon, by Mary McCarty, who played "Mama" Morton, during the original run of Chicago on Broadway. One goblet reads “Roxie,” the other reads “Hart.” The back of each goblet reads “46th St. Theatre, Xmas ‘76, Love Mary.” This one-of-a-kind pair of goblets is sure to “Razzle Dazzle” and is an incredible piece of Broadway history.
Chicago first premiered in 1975 with music and lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb, directed and choreographed by Verdon’s legendary husband Bob Fosse. The name on everybody’s lips was “Roxie” when Verdon was nominated for a Tony Award for the role. Although the original run closed in 1977, the 1996 revival is now the longest-running American musical in Broadway history and continues to shine eight shows a week at the Ambassador Theatre.
