Fields Jerome ChodorovBasisJoseph A. Fields's and Jerome Chodorov's play My Sister EileenProductions1953 Broadway 1955 and 1986 West End 2003 Broadway revival 2006 Non-Equity U.S. TourAwardsTony Award for Best MusicalWonderful Town is a 1953 musical with book written by Joseph A. Fields and Jerome Chodorov, lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, and music by Leonard Bernstein. The musical tells the story of two sisters who aspire to be a writer and actress respectively, seeking success from their basement apartment in New York City's Greenwich Village. It is based on Fields and Chodorov's 1940 play My Sister Eileen, which in turn originated from autobiographical short stories by Ruth McKenney first published in The New Yorker in the late 1930s and later published in book form as My Sister Eileen. Only the last two stories in McKenney's book were used, and they were heavily modified.After a pre-Broadway try-out at the Forrest Theatre in Philadelphia, Wonderful Town premiered on Broadway in 1953, starring Rosalind Russell in the role of Ruth Sherwood, Edie Adams as Eileen Sherwood, and George Gaynes as Robert Baker. It won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Actress, and spawned three New York City Center productions between 1958 and 1966, the 1955 and 1986 West End production and 2003 Broadway revival. It is a lighter piece than Bernstein's later works, West Side Story and Candide, but none of the songs have become as popular.Rosalind RussellRosalind Russell Portrait circa 1940sBornCatherine Rosalind Russell[1] June 4, 1907 Waterbury, Connecticut, U.S.DiedNovember 28, 1976 (aged 69) Beverly Hills, California, U.S.Resting placeHoly Cross Cemetery, Culver CityOccupationActresscomedianscreenwritersingerYears active1929–1972Catherine Rosalind Russell (June 4, 1907 – November 28, 1976) was an American actress, comedienne, screenwriter, and singer,[4] known for her role as fast-talking newspaper reporter Hildy Johnson in the Howard Hawks screwball comedy His Girl Friday (1940), opposite Cary Grant, as well as for her portrayals of Mame Dennis in Auntie Mame (1958) and Rose in Gypsy (1962). A noted comedienne,[5] she won all five Golden Globes for which she was nominated. Russell won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical in 1953 for her portrayal of Ruth in the Broadway show Wonderful Town (a musical based on the film My Sister Eileen, in which she also starred). She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress four times during her career.In addition to her success as a comedic lead, Russell was known for playing dramatic characters, especially wealthy, dignified, ladylike women, being one of the few actresses of her time who regularly played professional women such as judges, reporters, and psychiatrists.[6] Russell's career spanned from 1930s to the 1970s, and she attributed this longevity to the fact that, although usually playing classy and glamorous roles, she never became a sex symbolYou can check the Flea Markets, Stores or Conventions.
