The above-mentioned strategy and methods are used for the first time in the context of the similar material. It is emphasized, that due to their indispensability and importance it became possible to investigate not only the relationship of the theater and the Odessa urban myth, but to make a detailed reproduction of fleshed-out picture of the past – the history of development and formation of the Musical Comedy Theater on the background of the general history of the Soviet and modern Odessa, to discover new facts from the biography of actors, to reconstruct performances, withdrawn from the theater playbills, еtc.
