Sophisticated Ladies was the first Broadway show to be broadcast on pay television while still running on Broadway. The night of the Broadcast performance was picketed by Equity, with Maurice Hines and Judith Jamison (the stars of the show) choosing not to perform on that night and joining the picket line. The Nederlanders had been meant to finance the tour but pulled out due to concerns the filming would destroy tour sales. They later changed their minds and co-produced with their “rivals” The Shubert Organization. Judith and Maurice also threatened to sue the producers for ads that promoted the broadcast using their names even though they’d already declined to perform that night.
