From Wikipedia:

It helped jumpstart the careers of several young performers including Paul Lynde, Alice Ghostley, Eartha Kitt, and performer/writer Mel Brooks (as Melvin Brooks).
The revue opened at the Royale Theatre on May 16, 1952 and ran for 365 performances. It was produced by Leonard Sillman and directed by John Murray Anderson and John Beal.
Cast: Ronny Graham, Eartha Kitt, Robert Clary, Virginia Bosler, June Carroll, Virginia De Luce, Alice Ghostley, Patricia Hammerlee, Carol Lawrence, Paul Lynde, and Bill Milliken.
