| | The Patti LuPone Website: Pal Joey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | The central story revolved around Joey and his affair with a worldly-wise society dame, Vera Simpson; Vivienne Segal was cast as Vera (the character, created for the musical, shared Segal's initials) and the title role went to a talented young actor named Gene Kelly. |
 | | PAL JOEY had a Broadway run of less than a year, followed by a three-month, five-city tour. |
 | | The PAL JOEY album proved so popular that a Broadway revival was inevitable, produced by none other than composer Jule Styne, who brought PAL JOEY back to Broadway on January 3, 1952. |
