Bells Are Ringing (1956), a musical comedy by Betty Comden, Adolph
Green (book, lyrics), Jule
Styne (music). [
Shubert Theatre, 924 perf.] Ella Peterson ( Judy
Holliday), the friendly operator for Susanswerphone, often gets involved with her unseen clients and even falls for the playwright Jeff Moss ( Sydney Chaplin). When she finally meets Jeff face‐to‐face she is not disappointed but complications set in, augmented by bookies using the answering service to take horseracing bets, which lead the police to Ella and her boss ( Jean
Stapleton).
Notable songs: The Party's Over; Just in Time; Long Before I Knew You; I'm Going Back. The lighthearted
Theatre Guild production was a tailor‐made vehicle for Holliday whose
Tony Award–winning performance was a delight. Faith
Prince was also praised as Ella in the 2001 Broadway revival, though the show had a short run.
