The tale of hillbilly Li'l Abner and his sweet, long suffering girlfriend Daisy Mae was brought to life on Broadway when it originally opened in 1956. The Play takes place in Dogpatch, U.S.A a very small southern town. The husbands of Dogpatch who are otherwise "lean & lanky" volunteer to drink the Yokum Miracle Drug, Yokum Berry Tonic. The Husbands are transformed and beautified into Muscular good-lookinh men.
