With its cheerful book and sparkling score, Hazel Flagg burst out on the Broadway scene in 1953. Based on the screwball comedy Nothing Sacred, with screenplay by Ben Hecht from a story by James Street, the show features a host of tuneful songs by Jule Styne and Bob Hilliard. Set in 1930s New York, the musical satire concerns a young woman from Vermont who becomes a media sensation when she is mistakenly believed to be sick from radium poisoning.
