Maybe, we can scratch 75%, or more, of the forum folks right off from being in the pool of eligibility for answering this question.

But, did anyone see "The Kansas Story," a Meridith Wilson musical that was a spectacular created for the state's centennial celebration?

In 1961, the production ran for two weeks in Topeka and another two weeks in Wichita with a cost of $420,000 and a cast of over 1,000 players. That cost is equivalent to a little over $3 million, today.
