Broadway
After many years of hard work and struggles in the New York entertainment business, Danny Kaye was finally able to break into Broadway when Moss Hart attended one of Kaye’s performances at the nightclub La Martinique in late 1940. Hart was so struck by Kaye’s stage presence and performance skills that he wrote a role for Kaye in his new musical Lady in the Dark, which featured songs by Kurt Weill and Ira Gershwin.
