The team of composer Jerry Bock and lyricist Sheldon Harnick came up with only six shows--but what shows! In addition to the phenomenally successful Fiddler on the Roof, aficionados usually gush about 1963's She Loves Me and 1959's Fiorello!. The latter turned a not particularly appetizing topic--the years leading to Fiorello LaGuardia's election as mayor of New York--into a great musical. (It even won the Pulitzer Prize for drama, only the third musical to do so.) Harnick and Bock's versatility was in evidence as they wrote numbers in every Broadway style: novelty, ballad (about sweatshops), duet (the absurdly catchy and funny "Marie's Law"), and, of course, a rousing number that doesn't really fit anywhere but is so good that it simply must be included (Eileen Rodgers's "Gentleman Jimmy"). This may be one of the wittiest, most melodic shows you've never heard. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

I first came across this wonderful play after having found a 33 1/3
record of it which I purchased at a garage sale. The record was in
very poor shape with many scratches & crayon markings all across it.
Never the less being a native New Yorker I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor
of the New York political satire. I found it so familiar and pleasurable
that I searched all over for a good copy of this recording. It wasn't until
recently that I was able to get the CD through Amazon. I am looking forward
to a local college group performing Fiorello here in Missouri. It's not
Broadway, but they'll do a great job!
