1957

In 1957, she played a "wisecracking broad" in the Broadway play "Maybe Tuesday", which ironically opened on a Wednesday and closed before Tuesday... a fact she joked about in her circa-2002 cabaret show. Other future TV stars in the cast of "Maybe Tuesday" were Alice Ghostley (later Esmeralda on Bewitched (1964)) and Louis Edmonds (Roger Collins on Dark Shadows (1966) and Langley Wallingford on All My Children (1970)). "Maybe Tuesday" is described extensively in Craig Hamrick's 2003 book "Big Lou", the biography of Louis Edmonds. The author, a longtime fan of Somers, presented her with a copy of the book at one of her cabaret shows in New York City.

The repertoire between the two was quite amusing.
