The 1959 musical celebration of the life and career of one of New York's most flamboyant mayors won the Pulitzer Prize, the Tony Award for Best Musical and the N.Y. Drama Critics Award. The dynamic presence of Fiorello La Guardia (aka The Little Flower) is echoed in its energetic score, including, "Little Tin Box" and "Politics and Poker." "…simply terrific; a warm, intimate and touching gem of a show that is lyrical and magical." - The Hollywood Reporter; "…dynamic…simple and crisp…intelligent and witty…deliciously clever…" - Variety.
