Read-Through of Broadway’s No Strings
For those fortunate enough to be cast in the show, their work begins with a script read-through. This familiarizes them with the show and gives the cast a chance to get to know their colleagues. This image shows the script read-through of No Strings, which debut on March 15, 1962. The show starred Diahann Carroll as Barbara, a beautiful American fashion model from Harlem living in Paris. Barbara meets David, played by Richard Kiley, a Pulitzer Prize winner suffering writers block.
As their love grows, Barbara’s career takes them to some of the most glamorous places in Europe. But David knows it will have to end. While David knows he has to leave and return to his writing in the United States, Barbara built her career in Europe. She had to stay. They part on good terms, with “no strings” attached to the memory of their relationship.
