Production Details
The musical starred Bob Holiday as Superman/Clark Kent and features Jack Cassidy, Michael O'Sullivan, Patricia Marand (as Lois Lane), and Linda Lavin in the cast. Despite receiving generally positive reviews from critics, the production was considered a financial flop at the time it closed. One song from the show, "You've Got Possibilities," became a minor cabaret standard outside of the production. The musical was later adapted into a television special in 1975. |
