Book by
Frank Loesser
Music by
Frank Loesser
Lyrics by
Frank Loesser
Based on They Knew What They Wanted by Sidney Howard
Three or More Acts, Book Musical, Thru Sung / Operetta, Rated PG
Original Broadway version (1956)
Frank Loesser, composer/lyricist of “Guys and Dolls,” scored his greatest artistic triumph with this touching, dramatic and intensely personal love story about a middle-aged vintner, Tony, whose mail-order marriage proposal is accepted under the girl’s mistaken assumption a photo of his young, handsome foreman is her intended husband.
Her hurt and humiliation when she learns the truth, as well as a terrible accident which nearly kills Tony as he hurries to meet her, almost ends the relationship before it begins, but a loving understanding blossoms between them during Tony’s long convalescence.
