The Cocoanuts
is a musical with music and lyrics by Irving Berlin and a book by George S. Kaufman, with additional text by Morrie Ryskind.
The Cocoanuts
opened at the Lyric Theatre on December 8, 1925, where it ran 218 performances. Despite the success of the film version, it had never been professionally revived until a reconstructed text was staged at Washington DC's Arena Stage in 1986. Subsequently, it was performed at the American Place Theater in NYC in 1996, where "Always" was restored to the score.
