Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean is a 1976 play by Ed Graczyk, originally performed at the Players Theatre Columbus in Columbus, Ohio. Despite the rendition of the name in the play’s title, it refers to the star of the film Rebel Without a Cause, James Dean, as opposed to Jimmy Dean, the country-western singer who had a hit in 1961 with "Big Bad John". The play revolves around a James Dean fan club that reunites at a Texas five and dime store. In 1982, filmmaker Robert Altman directed both a Broadway version at the Martin Beck Theater and a film adaptation of the same name. Altman's version of the play was not well-received with critics at the time.
