The ending you describe is essentially the ending used in the screening. We don't see the winner announced. A year later they watch the movie, with Sinatra singing the song. They describe the movie as a stinker. There's the scene with the teenage girl. Other posters make it sound like this WASN'T the Broadway ending, yet here it is. Any insight?
It was the only B'way ending, first preview til closing. In fact, a temporary version of it was reportedly added to Papermill before the tryout closed. I believe they fixed it rather early in Milburn, NJ. Someone will surely verify this second point, but I read it in all of our "Bandstand" threads last summer.
