Superman The Musical

I was searching the internet on this subject and found what I thought was pretty interesting. First is this site. It is dedicated to the 1975 television special. It had an all star cast. I won't tell you much about it in case you want to go there but one thing did surprise me. The person who played Perry White was Allen Ludden. Mr. Ludden at that time was famous as the MC (host) of the game show Password and for being married to Betty White. The other site, from which the above picture is from, is this one. It is an auction site for the album that was recorded from the Broadway play of Superman the Musical. Jack Cassidy got top billing for playing the villian. Mr. Cassidy, as we all know, was also famous for being father to David Cassidy and being married to Shirly Jones. The one thing that the cast have in common is that the men who played Superman were unknowns then and saddly are still unknown today. They were played by David Wilson on the TV special and Bob Holiday in the play. Mr. Holiday got the short end of the stick by being listed last in the cast even though he was the star of the play.
