Some clues:
One of the actors and one of the playwrights only worked together once on Broadway but their 1939 collaboration was a huge hit for both careers.
One of the playwright's first show on Broadway was a hit and his work has been revived on Broadway more frequently than any other American writer's work.
One of the actors was best known for roles performed in the plays of a famous American playwright who does not appear here.
One of these writer's first Broadway show played for two nights only but this was followed by a Broadway career spanning six decades.
One of these actors originated a role on Broadway that would later be immortalized in a musical version starring another performer who would carve out an entire career doing virtually nothing but this role for more than 50 years.
