LEONARD BERNSTEIN
Bernstein: On The Town
Nancy Walker, Adolph Green, Betty Comden / 1960 Cast (featuring four members of the original 1944 cast)
[ Sony / Columbia / CD ]
Release Date: Sunday 17 May 1998
On the Town is a musical with music by Leonard Bernstein and book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, based on Jerome Robbins' idea for his 1944 ballet Fancy Free, which he had set to Bernstein's music.
The musical introduced several popular and classic songs, among them "New York, New York", "Lonely Town", "I Can Cook, Too" (for which Bernstein also wrote the lyric), and "Some Other Time". The story concerns three American sailors on a 24-hour shore leave in New York City in 1944, during World War II. Each of the three sailors meets and quickly connects with a woman. (Wiki)
