This musical is said to be responsible for Babe Ruth, then with the Red Sox, being sold to the Yankees. One of the best known songs from the musical is Tea for Two. What’s the name of the show?
The musical is No, No, Nanette. It is popular legend that Ruth was sold to the Yanks so that Boston owner Harry Frazee could finance the musical, which did end up being a huge hit. However, this is not true. Ruth was sold so that Frazee could finance My Lady Friends, which is the play on which the musical No, No, Nanette is based.
