Editing Mary Tyler Moore (section)

===Theater===
Moore appeared in several [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] plays. She was the star of a new musical version of ''[[Breakfast at Tiffany's (musical)|Breakfast at Tiffany's]]'' in December 1966, but the show, titled ''Holly Golightly'', was a flop that closed in previews before opening on Broadway. In reviews of performances in Philadelphia and Boston, critics "murdered" the play in which Moore claimed to be singing with bronchial pneumonia.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=UGAaAAAAIBAJ&pg=5182,1978228&dq=holly-golightly+mary-tyler-moore&hl=en |title=Boston and Philadelphia Critics Broke Mary Tyler Moore's Heart |website=News.google.com|date=December 4, 1966 |access-date=August 14, 2010}}</ref>

She starred in ''[[Whose Life Is It Anyway? (play)|Whose Life Is It Anyway?]]'' with [[James Naughton]], which opened on Broadway at the [[Royale Theatre]] on February 24, 1980, and ran for 96 performances, and in ''[[Sweet Sue (play)|Sweet Sue]]'', which opened at the [[Music Box Theatre]] on January 8, 1987, later transferred to the Royale Theatre, and ran for 164 performances.

During the 1980s, Moore and her production company produced five plays: ''[[Noises Off]]'', ''[[The Octette Bridge Club]]'', ''[[A Day in the Death of Joe Egg|Joe Egg]]'', ''[[Benefactors (play)|Benefactors]]'', and ''Safe Sex''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/mary-tyler-moore-23123|title=Mary Tyler Moore – Broadway Cast & Staff|website=IBDb.com|access-date=January 23, 2025}}</ref>
