This 1962 musical, which ran for 300 performances on Broadway, chronicles the rise and fall of Harry Bogen, a backstabbing businessman determined to climb to the top of New York's garment trade. I Can Get it for You Wholesale is best remembered for the Broadway debut of Barbra Streisand in the role of Miss Marmelstein, Harry's long-suffering secretary.
