BIO
In 1936, she landed the role she hoped would lead her to Broadway, in the Bartlett Cormack play Hey Diddle Diddle, a comedy set in a duplex apartment in Hollywood. The play premiered in Princeton, New Jersey, on January 21, 1937, with Ball playing the part of Julie Tucker, "one of three roommates coping with neurotic directors, confused executives, and grasping stars, who interfere with the girls' ability to get ahead".
In 1940, Ball appeared as the lead in the musical Too Many Girls where she met and fell in love with Desi Arnaz, who played one of her character's four bodyguards in the movie.
She starred in Wildcat on Broadway, a musical with a book by N. Richard Nash, lyrics by Carolyn Leigh, and music by Cy Coleman.

Review: RED, Crazy Coqs
by Christiana Rose - May 27, 2026
Red is a dazzling and richly entertaining musical revue which celebrates the flame haired icons who have shaped stage and screen history, whilst simultaneously showcasing the extraordinary talents of its creator and performer, Amber Topaz. Stylish, intelligent and brimming with affection for its subjects, this is far more than a cabaret showcase. It is a lovingly crafted theatrical celebration of female performers whose influence continues to resonate across generations.
