Two Acts, Book Musical, Rated G

"Fiorello!" tells the story of the rise to power of New York's "Little Flower," Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia (1882-1947). In a time when the crooked political machine known as "Tammany Hall" was up to its ears in graft, vice and corruption, it took this small, honest man to break their stranglehold on New York City politics. With guts and perseverance "The Little Flower" put a bright, new shine on "The Big Apple." Unlike most political musicals, which are usually satires, "Fiorello!" is really a love story set to the music and beat of a New York City in the midst of change. The little man with the big hearts continues to attract and charm audiences with his warmth and humor.
