"You Can't Take It With You" originally opened on Broadway at the Booth Theatre on Dec. 14, 1936. A smash hit, the show ran for 838 performances and returned to Broadway five times, most recently in 2014.
The story follows Alice, coming from an eccentric family of carefree misfits, as she falls for her employer's son, the gentlemanly product of stuffy, snobby parents. When the members of the two disparate clans meet, there are fireworks.
