Choreographed by Graeme Murphy for Sydney Dance Company, Boxes premiered on 5 November 1985. The cast was led by Kim Walker as Figure #1 Male, Janet Vernon as Figure #1 Female, and Paul Mercurio as Figure #2 Male. The work was danced to a commissioned score from Iva Davies and his associate, Robert Kretschmer. It had costumes by Anthony Jones, a set designed by Laurence Eastwood and it was lit by John Drummond Montgomery.
Program notes for the original production: BOXES reflects on a world where physical and emotional barriers are erected knowingly, and all too often unknowingly; a world where we strive to measure and analyze everything in our physical universe. It is a view through a window into an environment - a world of change.

Description
Content description from NYT Archives (https://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/11/arts/dance-erick-hawkins-permiere-at-the-joyce.html) :
IT has been so easy in recent decades to think of Erick Hawkins as a choreographer and dancer with a special affinity for both Asian and American Indian philosophies that one forgets how rousingly down-home he can really be.
But last night at the Joyce Theater, the world premiere of a pungently stated dance-theater piece, ''The Joshua Tree, or Three Outlaws'' and the revival of his ''Hurrah!'' - a heartwarming ode to Middle Western nostalgia set to a festive score by Virgil Thomson - recalled Mr. Hawkins's firm roots in dance Americana.

Producer Gordon Miller (George Murphy) and his profligate actors are staying at a New York City hotel, where they're living the high life as they plan to mount a stage show. Alas, they have no money to pay their bills, and hotel boss Wagner (Adolphe Menjou) will banish them unless he gets paid. Joining the parade of those about to be bilked by Miller is Glenn Russell (Frank Sinatra), a playwright whose stellar singing just might be enough to right the fortunes of all involved.
