Details
Summary
Wildcat “Wildy” Jackson and her sister Jane arrive in Centavo City with big dreams of striking it rich in the oil business. Though Wildy has neither land nor know-how, she convinces Joe Dynamite, a crew foreman, to help her prospect. Joe doubts they'll ever find oil, but Wildy persists. After several adventures and a turbulent romance, Wildy and Joe ultimately prevail, and a gusher explodes over their triumphant finale. The score (the Broadway debut of Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh) includes the showstopper "Hey, Look Me Over."
History
Wildcat opened on Broadway at the Alvin Theatre on Dec 16, 1960, starring Lucille Ball and Keith Andes. The show ran for 171 performances.
