HARRY RIGBY was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1925. With Jule Styne and Alexander H. Cohen, he produced Make A Wish, his first Broadway musical, in 1951. Additional Broadway credits include John Murray Anderson’s Almanac, Hallelujah Baby! (winner of the 1968 Tony Award for Best Musical and Best Producer of a Musical), Good News, Very Good Eddie and Sugar Babies (two Tony Award nominations). Rigby was the driving force behind the hit revival of No, No, Nanette, which lured Ruby Keeler and Busby Berkeley out of retirement and started the nostalgia craze on Broadway and later revived the 1919 hit Irene, for which he helped adapt a new book, with Debbie Reynolds two years later. Rigby died in 1985 in New York City.
