Question

i need a popular show that was between 1930-1935. Not a popular song but a show.

Answer 1

Anything Goes (1934)
Strike Up the Band (1930)
The Great Waltz (1934)
The Band Wagon (1931)
Music In the Air (1932)
Out of all these, I'd say the most famous would have to be Anything Goes.

Answer 3

Band wagon was also done as a movie and is on VHS and I believe DVD.

If you want a straight play I'd suggest Petrified Forest. That was the play that got Bogart into the Movies as Duke Mantee and it is available on VHS and DVD.
