Fiorello

Celebrate New York and one of its greatest mayors (Fiorello La Guardia) with this Pulitzer Prize and Tony award winning musical featuring a delightful score, a large cast, and a great story. Fiorello is an “old style” musical with a clear and integrated balance between good songs and swift dialogue unique characters and multi level interacting stories, satire, and multi level interacting stories, satire, history and full-throated patriotism.

The musical tale of ideals, politics, corruption, love and New York brass takes us through the turbulent times of Fiorello La Guardia: from his early years in Greenwich Village law office to his election to Congress, his enlisting in WWI and his first marriage through the stock market crash and Great Depression, and his first unsuccessful run for mayor and concurrent widowing. The musical ends on a happy note with marriage to his longtime secretary, Marie and taking oath for the first of three times in office. Filled with beautiful ballads, peppy dance tunes, and even a hilariously shewed barbershop number, Fiorello presents a heartwarming tale where honor triumphs over deceit and perseverance pays off and the underdog come out on top.
