L. FRANK BAUM Music by Originally Staged by JULIAN MITCHELL Based on Baum's novel
First produced at the Majestic Theatre on January 21, 1903, with Fred Stone as "Scarecrow" and David Montgomery as "Tin Woodman".
T HE WIZARD OF OZ do manage to find the Wizard. Thus Scarecrow gets back his brains, and the Tin Man his heartmuch to the delight of little Dorothy. The musical score was shared by Sloane and Tiejens. Among the best songs contributed by Sloane were "Niccolo's Piccolo" and "The Medley of Nations", while the best of Tiejens included "When You Love, Love, Love" and "I've Waited for you in Loveland". During the long initial Broadway run, and on its subsequent nation-wide tour, various songs by other composers were interpolated from time to time. Two of these became major successesindeed, they are the leading song hits of the entire show: "Sammy" by James O'Dea and Edward Hutchinson, and "Hurrah for Baffin's Bay" by Vincent Bryan and Charles Zimmerman. Mention should be made that when the excellent motion picture adaptation was filmed, starring Judy Garland, and released in 1939, none of the songs from the original stage score were used. Harold Arlen wrote a completely new score that included "Over the Rainbow", which won the Academy Award as the best song to come from the screen that season, and which from then on served as Judy Garland's theme song.

OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II Music by RICHARD RODGERS Originally Staged by ROUBEN MAMOULIAN Based on Green Grow the Lilacs a play by LYNN RIGGS
First produced at the St. James Theatre on March 31, 1943, with Alfred Drake as "Curly", Joan Roberts as "Laurey" and Celeste Holm as "Ado Annie".
T In spite of her assumed diffidence towards and anger at Curly, Laurey is really in love with him. To arouse his jealousy she decides to go to the box-social with the hired hand, a despicable character. When Laurey discovers that Curly intends going to the affair with another girl she tosses her head indifferently ("Many a New Day"). Meanwhile, Ado Annie has let it be known that her partner would be the Persian peddler, Ali Hakim; at the same time she reveals that she is the kind of a girl who cannot refuse a man anything ("I Can't Say No"). The flirtatious overtures that Hakim has been making to Ado Annie make her father insist that the peddler marry the girl. Will is out of the running: he has extravagantly spent his fifty dollars on presents. When Curly and Laurey again meet they decide to go to the social together, after all; but for the sake of the neighbors they will be discreet about their behavior or be misunderstood in their intentions towards each other ("People Will Say We're in Love"). There is now the business of informing Jud he has lost his partner for the evening. Curly visits him at his dismal and shabby room in the smokehouse, and at first gets Jud into a good humour by telling him that though the people appear unfriendly they really think well of him and would mourn his death to no end ("Pore Jud!"). Then having delivered his message, he leaves Jud wallowing in self-pity ("Lonely Room").

Music by LEONARD BERNSTEIN Originally Staged by GEORGE ABBOTT Based on an idea by JEROME ROBBINS
First produced at the Adelphi Theatre on December 28, 1944, with Sono Osato as "Ivy", Betty Comden as "Claire", Adolph Green as "Ozzie" and Nancy Walker as "Hildy".
T On the Town was a musical-comedy extension of Fancy-Free , a ballet with choreography by Jerome Robbins and music by Leonard Bernstein, successfully introduced in New York on April 18, 1944. "One of the freshest musicals to come into town in a long time," as Lewis Nichols of the New York Times described it, On the Town had freshness, exuberance and youth. Its breathless pace and feeling of excitement was maintained from opening curtain to the finale by George Abbott's skillful directorial hand. But its value as entertainment, great though it was, is not all that has made this musical comedy such an important event in American theatre. As Leonard Bernstein's first Broadway score and Jerome Robbins' first assignment as choreographer in musical comedy, On the Town helped introduce two creative figures to the American musical theatre who would henceforth make to it a formidable contribution.
